Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

PODCAST

Hey! Another podcast?!

So yeah, the week before E3? Nothing really has happened. The new ipod/iphone firmware was released along with the App store which means games, I briefly talk about Bad Company and I retract what I said about UT3 last week it is quite good.

Microsoft Conference: A Musing…

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Now Microsoft has jus made the Internet explode, no they didn’t release another sevice pack: it was the Microsoft games press conference for this years E3 show.

They Announced a few things, here is what I take away as note worthy:

New Dashboard
I think the new dashboard is going to be hit or miss, the avatars are a little on the crazy side…but perhaps have some value.

The Guitar Hero ‘World Tour’ segment
It was just embarrassing, the guy they choose to go on stage had no charisma and had a few cringe-worthy moments when he’d shout something expecting a HUGE response and get nothing from the attending audience. It was actually quite funny, like watching someone get kicked in the nuts.

Portal 1 and a half?!
It looks like a XBLA game based on portal is coming (new levels etc..), I want it, they know I want it. And they gave it. Thank you!

Rockband 2 having nearly ALL the songs from Rockband 1 plus over 100 new tracs at release, they clapped for that guy (haha stupid Guitar Hero guy).

Square-Enix is going to release FFXIII on the 360 in a similtanious europe and NA release. Delayed for the ps3 to have a exclusivity period? Maybe. We’ll have to wait till 2moro…

Another post will be er…posted 2moro, check back then and don’t forget to follow the twitter feed during the conferences and the rest of e3!
