Let's make a rundown of each in the order they were presented. Take note I will not be thorough I will only comment on those I can remember off the top of my head as they will most likely be the most relevant.

Microsoft
Ok so they started with Call of Duty Black Ops, namely, another sequel to a shooter. Later on they demo Gears of War 3 and Halo Reach. This was all well and good except they let the game demos speak for themselves? Not only did they look like complete retards for disregarding the audience as if they didn't exist, we had to sit awkwardly while watching them play games without commentary. After the demos they strategically unveil MGS Rising as if it was an exclusive. Then the guy who developed Fable 3 shows up in a snooty way and presents the trailer for his game which was mostly underwhelming and a bit egotistical(Am I the only one who noticed he kinda looked like one of the characters in there). This is pretty much the first half dedicated for the "hardcore" market. The second half deals mainly with the Kinect demos.

Now I can see why MS would stoop this low, since they definitely want a piece of the casual games market. They have to expand their audience beyond the typical shooter games they have. And I can see their potential too in their social aspects as they seem quite polished as motion games that they are. Of course everyone cringed at the girl playing with Skittles, but you aren't the market for that, it's intended for the parents and the kiddies below 10 years old. The dance game I can see catching on to those who like to move on from the same old nintendo wii parties. I actually would've considered getting it to learn to dance in the privacy of my home, if I could ever live with myself for actually learning dancing at home lol. Then they unveiled the new 360, which definitely looks like an improvement, with its sleek sharp angles a contrast to the soft and feminine looking original. I will consider getting one if and only if the RROD is completely rid of and fixed, otherwise, no deal MS.

Highlights: Dance Central, Halo Reach Trailer
Lowlights: ESPN, No walkthrough/commentaries during demos, Kinectimals, Girl demoing the Kinect Driving game

Sony
Sony had their usual montage of various games on their platforms but I liked the one from last year better. Sony had a good presentation overall, and a very nice Stage design as well, with screens stretching end-to-end dynamically changing displays depending on the featured game and presenter. Sony conference mirrors what MS conference did, with hardcore games being featured first, except this time it's Killzone 3, Dead Space 2 and Medal of Honor. One disappointment with KZ3 is that it being pre-alpha code as shown during the 3D demo, it looked crappy compared to the clean and polished MS shooter demos. Add to that the dumb-looking jet pack that was clearly poorly designed to burn your hand, gun or face should you attempt to fly around. Kaz comes on stage to toot the 3D horn which is admirable in their push for cutting edge tech, but with the high cost of entry it doesnt wow like it's supposed to. Little Big Planet 2 seemed intriguing enough provided you had enough free time to utilize its game creation potentials. Finally GT5 finally gets a release date, with 3D and move being the probably culprits for its further delay. Infamous 2 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood were equally unimpressive with their bland character models and boring premise. Early on than expected Sony presents its motion controller, Move.

Move is probably what the Wii motion control is supposed to be in terms of precision and responsiveness. They first showed off Sorcery which seems like a typical magic wielding protagonist (who is a boy, big surprise). Despite a few framerate stutters here and there, it has potential for sure for the lucky kiddies out there whose parents keep them in mind this holiday. The Tiger Woods demo was boring, just like actual golf, but hey, for the golf junkies who can't play during a storm, it's probably awesome.

Later near the end of the show are a couple of surprises such as Gabe Newell from Valve suddenly showing up to talk about Portal 2, which most will probably get for PC anyway and I didn't like the first one too much due to motion sickness like I got in Half-Life 2. Later on at the tail end of the show David Jaffe of God of War fame shows up to demo Twisted Metal for PS3. It was an alright game but again another game I have no interest in at the moment.

Highlights: Kevin Butler(At first), Sorcery demo, Gran Turismo 5 Trailer
Lowlights: Kevin Butler Speech/Rant about Gaming, Tiger Woods Demo, Marcus PSP marketing campaign was annoying
