K, I am an admitted Lemming, I love my 360 (I also own a wii and maybe a PS3 in the future if there are games to bring me over).

I mean will we see more at TGS?? I keep waiting for something new. E3 came and they gave me updates of games I already knew were coming. I understood the logic, they wanted to hype the Holiday. A great holiday at that.

Then came the pre TGS conference. I had high hopes. All I ended up with was NG2 (would have been a much better treat had screens not been leaked a day or 2 before) and updated info on Infinate Undiscovery.

I mean, I am sorry, but I miss the days when something big was unleashed (whatever happened to Banjo 3 anyway), I want to see brand new games to get me excited and it just does not seem to be happening. Hell there is not even new news on games like Alan Wake or Alone in the Dark.

I keep waiting for a breakthrough announcement, something new with XBL, a new game, SOMETHING!!

Just me?????

Can you explain why a western-focused company like Microsoft should be announcing groundbreaking game info at TGS? Japan isn't exactly the Xbox's strong point. What more did you really expect?

It's down time before the holidays, and I bet alot of attention is focused on Halo 3. You probally wont here anything exciting till after the 25th, and it'll prolly get pushed to the bottom under the stacks of "Halo 3 is the pwns".

I thought NG2 was pretty "WOW" even if it was completely expected.

Oh come on, Ninja Gaiden 2 was always rumored, we knew it was coming. The only people who thought it would go to PS3 were hopefulls after the Sigma release. Sigma was not even done by Itagaki, his intern did it, he was not even involved on the Sigma project.

He said in several interviews he had nothing to do with it and the platform he was concerned with was Xbox.

Microsoft's annual European event, called X07 this year, has been cancelled according to Aaron Greenberg - group product manager for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live.

"There is not a real X07 this year but I think that we will figure out some way to talk about 2008 some time at a different event or a different type of programme," Greenberg told Squad XP's Podcast.

Since the X0 event first began in 2001, Microsoft has used the opportunity to make announcements to the European press.

At last year's X06 in Barcelona, for example, the company revealed Halo Wars and its collaboration with Peter Jackson, and at X02, Microsoft announced the acquisition of Rare.

I don't think MS is done yet. They still have another jrpg that is being published by Microsoft Studio. The jrpg is probably Cry On.

TGS has been impressive with the announcement of Infinite Undiscovery and NG2 but it isn't anything amazing.

That's what I'm sayin, throw me a freakin bone please :) Cry On info would be great, but in reality still not new. I'm waiting for that brand new game announcement that absoulutely wows me. They did it even with that teaser for Banjo 3, nohing new since, but at least I know it's in the works. I'm sayin, throw me a teaser or 2 of something I didn't already know about/expect. Give me something totally new to get excited about.

With the huge amount of multiplat games have a proven AAA franchise exclusive is huge. Maybe your expectations are a little to high.

Rez, and I'd imagine Ikaruga (never played it, but heard only good things and the developer is one of my favourites) as downloadable games is a pretty damn big wow, if you ask me. And NG2 is likely going to be one of the best games of 2008.
