The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
This morning marked the start of this year's E3 with the Microsoft conference. What's coming to an Xbox 360 near you soon? Let's take a look:
The Good:
Gears of War 3 Campaign sneak peak featuring the Silverback wearable "tank." It looks badass. The Leviathan monster is massive and it looks like a blast to fight. The best part was when Cole drops a create full of Tickers on the the monster.
Great demos of Tomb Raider and Modern Warfare 3. (even if the CoD demo was a bit long)
Mass Effect 3 demo looks amazing.
Halo Combat Evolved will be remastered for the 360 this fall.
Microsoft has partnered with many different companies including Youtube, Disney, and TV stations. This is the beginning of the end for traditional cable TV. Bing will search content on your 360 so it will be easy to find.
Kinect's Fun Labs looks like it's promising. You can make your avatar look just like you.
HALO 4 with Master Chef!!!!!!! They said it was going to be a trilogy. But it was really short and it's suppose to come out next year.
The Bad
Does everything need Kinect? Seriously, Fable the Journey, Ghost Recon, Mass Effect 3.
Kinect might ruin the gaming experience. Do we really need to make gun motions with your hands or pretend to take the reins of a horse? When our character needs to jump, do we have to too? I'm not excited....
The Ugly
More Kinect casual games. More Dance games, sports games, games for kids. (really did a Sesame Street game need to be featured at E3?) Maybe I'm just a snob, but most of Microsoft's conference had me yawning.
I'm hoping Sony's conference tonight and Nintendo's tomorrow morning will be more entertaining and varied. If I hear "Kinect" one more time today, I might be sick.....
