The leading brand in all things video games had there press conference today. I'd be lieing if I said im not pleased. However to me what seems like the project that was the "big deal" for them was nothing special, so yes it is upsetting. You could call me a xbox fanboy if you want, but this is just really upsetting.

I did not catch the whole press conference. I started on Modern Warfare 2, which looked amazing. It seems as if civillians will be on the battlefield this time and everyone knows about the snowmobile. A lot of ice climbing though. Anyways Modern Warfare 2 looked like it will be just as good as call of duty 4.

Then out of no where, an epic reveal trailer came up. It looked like zombies in a hotel so everyone was thinking Dead Rising 2 and then when we heard chainsaws, we knew it was Dead Rising 2. Until i saw the tank sprinting ahead. Left 4 dead 2 and all i can say is wow about that one.

There was a epic games segment but it was nothing great, just a arcade game, seems fun though.

Then Forza Motorsport 3, but im not a racing fan so again no big deal.

Somewhere around this time, Bungie begins the presentation and its ODST. It looked solid, i mean its Halo. The game might play in flashbacks i wasnt completely sure. Then they showed a super secret trailer. It was almost like a decaying earth and then it said Halo: Reach. I had no idea what that meantso I asked a friend and he said that is a tie in with the movie thats in development apparently. Im still clueless if thats true though.

The weakest part of the night for me wasthe social networking stuff. I know it would be nice to do all that on my xbox but i get on xbox when i want to play games, not message on facebook or twitter. The netflix stuff was something everyone saw coming. The music sharing will be sweet and its free so its worth a try.

Then the highlight of the night. The dude who made Metal Gear Solid walked out like a ninja. Now me and my friend were going crazy, acting a fool. But the crowd was completely lifeless. You could tell these guys didnt know who he was or they hated him for making the only game thats good on the PS3.Metal Gear Solid, Lighning Bolt or something. There was no gameplay but it still amazed me and i cant wait for this one

Then the thing we all been waiting for, the new controller. Project Natal. You are the controller. Basically, its motion capture on 360 and your character does what you do, yay! I was excited but then the demos that they showed for this technology looked almost exactly like a wii game. Your character was slightly transparent and you were doing something lame like painting or kick ball/hand ball combination. Im not impressed. If Natal will work on shooters, it could turn out to be great but if all were getting is minigames like wiiPlay then its just another rip-off. i mean Microsoft already stole Miis from Wii and guess what this project Natal has alot of things to do with your avatar. since it mimics your actions. Im not impressed by it at all, i wouldnt play either of the games that were showed. Then they showed Milo who is a boy who can read your emotion through the motion capture and i have to say that was amazing but something tells me that wasnt legit. What they wanted to make people drop there mouths in awe turned out to be some thing not so cool to me and i hope they do it right.

And for Christ sake, please get better actors for your videos next time Microsoft!

In the end, it was a good conference. I dont think Sony or Wii can do better to be honest. Well see tomorrow.
