Highly Underwhelmed.

 

I love e3. However, I'm glad I didn’t watch the press conference. Had I gone through the work of dipping and dodging to watch the conference, considering I had class today, I'd have been upset. There were no pleasant surprises that affect me. There were 2 highlights of the conference. Disclaimer: Gears of War and Call of Duty are irrelevant to me. Project Natal was finally officially announced as Kinetic. Yawnworthy name. The games released weren't impressive at  all. I set a low bar and Microsoft limboed right under it

Next the (imo better) announcement of the xbox 360 slim. Sexy piece of hardware. Comes with a 250 gig Hard drive (cant tell whether it's detachable) It comes with Wireless-N (Way to be 2 years late to the party, Microsoft). and it looks nice (albeit without the ability to place my Cowboys faceplate on it). But once again, I have a 360 and I just shelled out money to buy the 120 gig HD. thank you very little.

However, I am excited about Halo Reach, which had a campaign video released today. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. (but I was already going to buy it.
