E3 What i Thought (Microsoft)

So the biggest games convention is over for another year but has this years E3 been a success or has it fallen on its arse for the third year running well over the next two days i will tell you what i thought.

Today we will concentrate on what i thought of the big three and tomorrow will be our pick of the best 5 games at E3.

Microsoft
Now seeing as they had the honor of kicking off this years E3 it the best place to start and i think i say this for everybody when i pick Microsoft for having the best conference even though it did go on a little.
Instead of just throwing facts a figures at us they wanted to show us what we wanted and that was games and they succeded as the games they did show off were of the highest standards.

It's really difficult to choose what the best moments of there conference were but here goes

• We knew they had some kind of motion controller to show off however we didn't expect them to show something that was of high standards as there new camera.
  With the ammount of software they showed off from the scary Mylo to the fantastic way you can use the new camera to control the dashboard this was more than just another gimmick it was something that did change the way we controlled our games as well as the dashboard.
• With Microsoft wanting to show off more than games they did give us a surprise when they said that not only Facebook (I don't touch it myself) but Twitter will be able to be controlled on the 360.
  Not only Facebook and Twitter were shown off they also told us that the movie markeyplace will be changed to Zune HD and will offer us full HD movies and that you will also be able to easily stream the movies without having to download them.
  Finally though we did get something just for us and thats being able to download Sky programmes and movies if you are a subscriber thus giving us a bit more variety for our 360.
• The games that they showed off were of a high standard thus giving us another nightmare on what we should by at the end of the year.
  The highlights included Forza 3 which we knew was coming but we didn't expect it to be that good looking and the fact the game comes on 2 disc shows us that there will be enough content to last us for a long time, Left 4 Dead 2 was a big huge shock for us as the original only came out at the end of the year and valve aren't known for releasing a sequel to a game that quickly, Crackdown 2 was also a big surprise as it looks more darker than they slight comic book feel of the first ones, Splinter Cell Conviction was also a big of a shock for me as the first video they showed off for this game looked nothing like what they showed off for us this time around and i'm happy because of that because i'm now looking forward to a Splinter Cell game for the first time and other highlights included Halo ODST and Reach plus Epic announcing that they are going to release there first Arcade game.

So thats what i thought about microsoft later on today i will have my thoughts on Nintendo and Sony and don't forget that tomorrow we will have our top 5 games of E3.
