Reflections on a Microsoft Press Conference

To make this as simple as possible I have devised a never before seen system to analyze E3. Hold your applause till later.

The Good.
Lots of trailers.
Crackdown 2 was an unexpected surprise.
Left 4 Dead 2 features chainsaws. Chainsaws and zombies a match made in heaven.
Metal Gear Solid Rizen.

The Bad.
Project Natal seems really neat technically, but doesn't seem very workable... I don't want to play pit crew, or move my hole body all the time... or do round house kicks to my TV.

ON the bright side hilarious gifs are aplenty thanks to project Natal.




Most of the trailers were not new information.
Facebook and Twitter on Xbox360... really was this necessary?
Xbox360 trying to be the Wii.

Overall I thought the press conference was a let down. Some good news which Microsoft decided not to focus on and instead they focused on weird new technology that there demographic could not care less about.
