Well it was brilliant watching the news on E3, and There's LOTS of news to be had as well, so jump in and check it out, you will not be disappointed.

And yes, MGS is officially coming to the 360 with a NEW Metal Gear Solid game called MGS: Rising (it's MP, so we can all share the love of MGS)

Yeah but Raiden sucks! Is this going to be some Ninja action game now? I'll reserve my judgement, but I'd rather MGS 5, or a remake of MGS 4 on 360.

"Unveil"? That's exaggerating it a bit. The only thing i didnt expect was L4D2 and another Halo so soon.

You mean the only games that you were not fearful for were CD2 and L4D2 because they came out of nowhere and that makes it that much harder to deal with. I'm sure you were saying Microsoft had nothing only a week ago.

What about Forza 3...sure you wasnt expecting it to be so awesome. I think you are just jealous the X360 came out with such awesome stuff. You should go sell you Wii now and save up for a 360.

If you say im jealous, then it must be true then. I sold my Wii at Gamestop a long time ago. I have a 360, i havent touched it for months now. Forza 3, didnt we all ready talk about that in the comments section of some thread that it'll undoubtedly come out some time ago?

It makes what harder to deal with?

So far this year in my opinion for gaming has been slow, but I'm sure now it will pick up again with the hype behind these coming titles, I'm defiantly looking forward to the majority of the titles announced!

3 - Amazing keynote

There was more in there than I was expecting - can't wait for Crackdown, L4D2, Alan Wake, ODST and Reach.

However, Project Natal is what really intrigues me - the possibilities are limitless, and I can only hope it lives up the its potential. Relaly it relies on developer support.

Still no word from rare of Lionhead's new games though - maybe waiting to time with with another keynote to try and steal Sony or Nintendo's thunder?

I don't own a 360...but the conference was good imo...especially considering all everything that was announced was entirely 360 specific (or multiplatform titles, but I mean hardware specific)...no handheld crap or legacy system info that doesn't interest me (as I only own a PS3, and don't want to hear about ps2 stuff anymore)...

what is surprising though is that the 360 community seems to care about the MG spinoff, which most likely isn't exclusive, more than SC: Conviction or Alan Wake...

Alan Wake looked amazing...I wish more was shown, especially some brighter areas...but the lighting looked great, and the gameplay seemed to be an evolved Max Payne type mechanic that should be awesome...

I understand why they are freaking out about MG though...as they probably should be...kojima is easily one of the most influential and accredited developers on the planet...he doesn't make bad games...but Remedy hasn't made a bad game either, I am more excited to see more of alan wake than any other 360 game so far...

A whole new level can be achieved with "Natal".

Playing Modern Warfare 2 and having only to say "UAV", "Helicopter" and then being able to point where you want to land your airstrike is just one creative concept that can be done with this new technology.

It would immerse gamers more than ever with a more fluid gameplay even still while using the controller.

I'm no software designer so I'm sure developers will utilize "Natal" perfectly and think of even better things than just random thoughts.

Those who criticize I feel are only filled with hate and shock that MSFT has shown something that can change gaming forever.

Instant 1080p
Watching Movies with friends.......isn't that something Playstation Home was supposed to have??? Why is it not there?

MSFT is beating Sony on things they planned to release BEFORE Microsoft.

Microsoft's conference only makes me anticipate Sony's further. With all those announcements from the MS side of the fence, it'll be interesting to see what Sony brings to the table.

X360 will always lack games like Okami or Shadow of the Colossus.

Or real stealth MGS games.

One day, they'll need to stop buying off franchises and make their own.

I'm really looking forward to Forza 3. There was incredible detail in Splinter Cell and Alan Wake looked amazing.

I think alan wake is gonna be awesome I think m$ should have showcased it a lot more. Splinter cell looks ok. Kind of strange. But good. CRACKDOWN 2 gonna be great. And last but not least shadow complex I think that game is gonna be real cool. The demonstration was a train wreck reminded me of the assasins creed demo at e3.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction = shooter
Left 4 Dead 2 = shooter/chainsaw
Alan Wake = shooter/flashlight
Shadow Complex = shooter/side scrolling
Crackdown 2 = shooter
Halo 3: ODST = shooter

Hmm, nice variety!

Oh and Forza Motorsport 3 = If you ever wondered what a ghetto paint job on a $250,000 car would look like, this is the game 4 U! lulz

Alan Wake a shooter? Now that is really stretching things.

I thought the 360 conference was really good. I am actually excited for some new exclusive games for my 360.

For all the hype they were giving Forza 3 I was less than impressed. I lost count of how many times they said it was the definitive racing game of this generation, like if they say it enough we will just accept it.
