Microsoft Press Conference
13 years ago
For the third year in a row my friend forcefully put me through another Microsoft press conference. As I expected there was the Kinect featured games with the new games featuring voice commands for the games. And they showed of a kid’s game for the Kinect. Yay? There were a lot of games revealed, and what was one of them? Halo 4… everybody saw it coming. Of course Gears of War had to be in the conference also. Meh I am not going to talk about the games for exclusive Xbox games.
The new features of the Xbox were to include more entertainment for the Xbox consumers like more sports or to take your Xbox into your mobile phones and tablet. I don’t think no one is gonna use the tablet feature but who knows?
The games that I was really interested were the ones that are going to be released onto both Xbox and PS3. Let me start off by saying that FINALLY they showed off more Resident Evil 6! The game looks beautiful. The game play looks fast paced and awesome. This game I recommend when it releases in October. And I hope for the love of god Capcom does not screw us with on disc DLC.
I not a huge Tomb Raider fan but the game looks like Uncharted but with Lara Croft. It looks like another third person shooter I know but I don't even remember when the last Tomb Raider game was released. This game looks simply amazing, fun, and thrilling! And many people know how hot Lara Croft is! Hopefully I’ll play a demo of it.
This game made me laugh when I saw the trailer. South Park the Stick of Truth has finally had its first reveal trailer of the game play. I love how they are letting the players of the game feel like they are in an episode of South Park. If you love South Park and RPGs then this is a game for you.
And of course Call of Duty Black Ops 2 to end the conference. The game looks amazing as always, the game play is the same (of course) but the game is (hopefully) a sandbox style game. Sandbox games are like Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row the Third. The missions in CoD Black Ops 2 will not be linear, that is something that they have finally improved for the series.
The only game that I am interested for the Xbox Kinect is Dance Central 3. The second game was amazing and the performance with Usher was amazing. Though I wish Dance Central 3 was shown of a little bit later in the year instead of now. The second game needs more life span before the third one comes out.
Overall, Microsoft delivered some new features to the system for those people who use their Xbox systems for their entertainment purposes. The line of games for the Microsoft consumers is going to be big hits for the fall and next winter. There is nothing else I can say but great job for not showing those fist bumping kids from last years’ E3. One more thing… the next generation Xbox was not revealed!

If you have any questions or want me to find a specific game, please feel free to post comments! I will not be attending Sony's press conference due to the Los Angeles Kings are playing at Staples tonight in the Stanley Cup finals. But I will heavily go into a lot of detail into Nintendo's press conference tomorrow (love Nintendo so much).GO KINGS GO!

FA+

I'm really looking foward to South Park The Stick of Truth, I knew they were going in the right direction when they mentioned there will be a Jew class a couple months ago in a developer interview. I also loved it how Matt and Trey did a nice slam against the industry with trying to put video games on everything with some kind of gimmick.
On the Sony side of things, both Beyond: Two Souls and The Last of Us make me quite happy I own a PS3. I'm also glad to hear Sly 4 :Thieves in Time is also looking (and playing) good.
I'm also looking forward to what you thought of Nintendo's press conference. (Conference's if you hit up the hardware and 3DS conference as well.) There's a lot to discuss with that, especially considering what was shown and told, what wasn't and what was only mentioned after all the conferences.
