The five phrases that will ruin any E3 presentation:
Motion controls, casual gamer, celebrity involvement, social integration, and Season Pass.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Holy Moses this read my mind.
I pretty much hate the term 'casual gamer.' Everytime I hear it I zone out.
just 2, either "casual gamer" or "RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAAAAAAACER!"
"Casual Gamers" ...bleh! You ruined my day, ser!
You're either a gamer, or you're not. There are no casual gamers.
Motion gaming could've been huge(M$ will still place their bets on Kinect this year) but I don't think it has reached its peak, and I am not sure if it will ever.
Lastly, Celebrity Involvement...*sigh* Nintendo's ads were okay, but that's a big no-no. We all know celebrities aren't gamers, what's the point?
If you want ads, make them like Sony's "To Michael - Long Live Play." Now THAT was advertising.
Well, I guess you can consider every E3 keynote ruined...
