E3: Microsoft Part 1

Since the Microsoft Spotlight was filled with so much goodness this post is a two parter. This post will be all about the game, and the second will be about the upgrades.


Okay lets start off with the Fallout 3 demo. It was awesome it met all of my expectations and more. It was so amazing to watch body parts flying in the air. I have no complaints for this game so far.





Now lets sink our teeth into the Resident Evil 5 demo. The demo really showed off the the co-op element of the game. Since I've never played a Resident Evil game, I can't say much else that would give it the credit it deserves so here's the demo.




Next up the infamous Fable 2. The demo looked great, I loved the the fact that you can walk up to one of your friends and invite them into your world. But I don't plan on playing this game. It's just not my type of game.




Now it's time for a heavy hitter Gears of War 2. This demo was simply wonderful, the graphics were amazing. The combat was mind blowing, and the sheer chaos of it was tempting. I'm definitely pre-ordering this one.




Now with new upgrades comes new features, and one of those features is a new game. This game is called Primetime it's a game where your avatar can star in a game show such as 1 vs. 100.


Now lets move on to the new games in the Arcade.

First off we got Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2. This Geometry Wars still has all the fast paced action and seizure inducing graphics we've come to know and love.


Next we got a 'true' sequel of Galaga which basically looks like a rip off of Geometry Wars.


They've also announced a South Park game on the Arcade.


But the game that made me giggle with glee is Portal: Still Alive. At E3 the game was announced by everybodys favorite homicidal AI GLaDOS. This game is said to have new levels and achievements.



Also there will be an exclusive Grand Theft Auto 4 episode on Xbox Live. And on the new Viva Pinata game you will be able too use your Pinata trading cards to put Pinatas in the game. Guitar Hero World Tour will ship with more than 85 games, and Metallica put have there whole album up for download on the game. But on the other side of the coin Rock Band will exclusively premiere on the Xbox 360.

Speaking of music games Microsoft answer to Sony's Singster is Lips. Lips is a singing game where you can use your own music collection to sing to. I'm looking forward to this one.

Another party game is You're in the Movies. In this game you use the camera they provide you with to do little mini games like dancing. Then the game compiles these games to create a little movie. But if you don't want to just sit back let the game make the movie you can take over, and make it yourself.


Since we got that stuff over with lets get to Microsoft's big announcement. Final Fantasy 13 will be released on the 360. Now I know how major this is, but let me dip into why I think Microsoft made this there big announcement. I think they did it to say 'Look Sony we're taking all your big titles.' I mean they have Guitar Hero, Madden, and now Final Fantasy. Microsoft is not to be fucked with.
