Top 10 Shocking Moments of the Microsoft Pess Conference

Sad to say but Microsoft had the best press conference out of all three platforms. Wich is usually the case. Although they focused a little to much on the casual gamer, they still delivered some surprizing news on the future of Xbox 360.

10- lips

I know, I know its Fr1kn kareoke. But hey, you can upload your favorite songs from your iPod or your Zune and sing along with them. Now you can rock side by side With Chester Benington like you always wanted!

9-Rock Band 2

rb

Anyone that is a friend of Linkin Park is a friend of Mine! Rock band will featur 2 Linkin Park Titles ( One step closer and i believe Faint) And its the OLD linkin park. Not the new "Minutes to Midnight" band that call themself Linkin Park. -_- All jokes aside, Rock band 2 delivers a husge list of 80 tracks from a wide variety of Artists, ranging from Paramore, to ACDC to Metallica (yuk!)

8-Fallout 3

Fallout 3 looks pretty destructive, wich is definatly a good thing. This game take on the post apacalypctic theme in a unique way.

7-Netflix

nf

Didn't see tat one coming. And even more shocking, microsoft kepth this under wraps with no leaks at all. I think this will be an interesting addition to th Xbox 360 dashboard.Its spells the death of Blockbuster though.

6-Fable 2

defg

It's finaly done and looks amazing. Lion head looks to create a fantasy role-playing universe that is unique to each player who enters the world of Albion.

5-Sales

Who new Sony was so behind. Microsoft E3 presentor Don Mattrick made a big declaration during the company's E3 press conference, promising that the Xbox 360 "will sell more consoles worldwide this generation than PS3".

Mattrick noted that current US sales of Microsoft's curvy white (or sometimes black) box were at roughly 10.3 million, outselling the PS3 by over 5 million units - or so he says, at least.

In other news, Xbox Live was suitably plugged, with Mattrick noting that punters have combined to spend USD $1 billion on the service. 12 million users have helped contribute to the revenue, with a new user joining Live every five seconds.


4-banjo and kazooie

gagde

I strongly believe this game is over looked by many. The once Nintendo cla$sic returns in the New Generation. BUt i dont know, if NIntendo's Shigeru Miyamoto isnt behind this, its probably destined for failiure.

3-Redident Evil 5

dg

Chris Redfield returns and heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is transforming the people into mindless, maddened creatures. I have a feeling this will act as a watered down Metal Gear Solid 4 for XBOX 360 owners.

2- New Dashboard Interface and Avatars

dg

I have to admit, the old dashboard with the traditional "blades" was a bit unattractive, this new interface looks more user friendly and is alot cleaner. I thought the New avatars were hilarious. There basically Hi-definition Miis, but f theye as personisable as Microsoft claims they are, im sure well enjoy them.

1-FINAL FANTASY XIII FOR XBOX 360

s

--"Oh no they didn't!"

Probably to e the most memorable moment in all of E3. Square Enix sells out on their old pal Snony and tells them "Money Talks, BS Walks". 360 Fanboys rejoice as the onece Sony exclusive title will now launch along side with a Microsoft equivalent. This could be the push Microsot needed to win over the Japanese audience. To me it looks like one less reason to buy a PS3 for now. If Sony wants to crawl out of this alive, they need to start shelling out money to keep their exclusive titles!
