E3 Day One!

So my new job doesn't allow me to leave work at a decent time. Being a manager and on salary I have to work till it's done. I can't see much video game related stuff at work either so I'm forced to wait all day for anticipation. I got home to see what I could find out about the Microsoft conference and other news. Let me preface my reaction to Day 1, E3 usually doesn't impress me that much. We'll see this year I might want to listen to those world cup horns instead of this who knows.

Microsoft Excited List

  • MGS: Rising- nice trailer game play seems tight I will hold full reactions till I get my hands on it. Looks similar to Afro Samurai's precision "cutting time" but done better. Looking forward to it. 
  • Halo Reach/Starfighter- looks interesting but similar to the shitty Star Wars Starfighter game. Where in the fiction does this fit in because Spartan 117 hated space combat and I never heard anyone else loving it in the novels. The music was out of place and so is the space combat. I hope Bungie knows what they are doing but I applaud them for trying something new FPS is getting old. 
  • New Xbox 360: Looks good shooting for that slim huh? Built in Wi-fi? Bigger hard drive sounds like a PS3 to me. Still same price and shipping this week. But did they fix the overheat issue? Buy a warranty if you get this, don't trust MS one bit. 
Microsoft Who Cares
  • Kinetic ahh really? Navigate your console by voice and motion, while that sounds cool not sure I care. I'm not really that lazy. Play more sports games via waving around in the living room? Not so much I have a Wii. Where is the killer app?
Excitment in general

Golden Eye for the Wii can't wait check it out by Googling it because till tomorrow Activision is pulling it from Youtube etc. It's coming it looks fun. 

New 2D Castlevania Harmony of Despair cool who doesn't love 2D

Hmm that is all for now oh yeah MGS Peacewalker go get it!!
