is this the final announcement Microsoft saved up for E3 after the big Final Fantasy XIII announcement ? .
By the way I was a little dissapointed with Microsofts Press Conference at E3 2008 .
Sure Microsoft did 1 hell of a job in attracting casual gamers with games like lips , banjo kazooie 3 , portal still alive ,south park, but where are those games for the Hardcore gamer in the first place , well my question itself was answered at e3 by Cliffy B .

The New Gears of War 2 footage freaked me out completely & there is absolutely no doubt that Gears 2 looks phenomenal in every respect, Fable 2 & Banjo looks promising to me , Final Fantasy 13 didnt had much to do for me since i have both a ps3 & 360 , but there was something that was missing , i expected some new ips & sequels from Microsoft Game Studios like a Forza 3 , A new squad based Halo which was rumoured all week long , no Halo wars demo , nothing on Alan Wake , no new first party games , no Dead Rising 2 ,no Crackdown 2 announcement felt dissapointing to say the least, an anouncement or two for games in 2009 would ve been sweet . so i felt kinda dissapointed with ms this year 
.
MS is hitting sony real hard this gen ( dont get me wrong guys, i love both the playstation & microsoft brand , just my opinion , so dont get me wrong on this 1 ), its no secret that MS is all keen to win this gen ,they got some of sonys finest third party exclusives like GTA IV , DMC 4 ,& now probably sony s biggest third party exclusive Final Fantasy 13, gotta hand it to ms for making it happen ,ms surely knows how business is done . its nothing new when it comes to console wars. Playstation did it with the dremacast , now it looks to me that its Ms turn . all in all Ms has done a gr8 job in bringing up a ton of rpgs for the 360 platform , Ms is doing really well this gen , they ve already got the best online experience with xbl , gr8 third party support , some gr8 exclusives like Gears of War , Halo 3 , Forza 2 , Viva Pinata, Ninja Gaiden 2 ,Dead Rising , Mass Effect ,GTA IV Dlc .
The new dashboard looks very neat, the avatars are awesome & a copy cat from wiis mii :P ( just got it confirmed at giantbombs latest podcast that old gamerpics & themes will be compatible with new dashboard , so need to worry :wink: ), netfix puts more icing to 360 s cake . Gears 2 , Fable 2 , Banjo Kazooie 3 looks really good for the 360 platform . plus with games like lips & banjo kazooie 3 , arcades like portal still alive ,southpark & the original banjo game , ms is all set to widen its appeal for the casual gamers too, all in All ms did a good job this year at E3 for thier line up of games in 2008 .
Bungie s site s having a Countdown at the moment ,i do smell a new halo , hope that bungie announces a new Halo. I am looking forward to Sony press conference today, hopefully sony wont dissapoint me the way ms did , i know that a God of War 3 teaser will be shown :), i ve got my finers crossed on that 1 , plus i expect sony to unviel more games for the psp platform , its about time they start thinking about the psp seriously , sure we got chains of olympus , patapon , crisis core & star wars this year , but i expect more decent line up & hope they stop porting psp games for the ps2 , i expect a ton of stage demos including killzone 2 , motorstorm 2 , lbp , r2 , new warhawk dlc , socom confrontation & infamous . hope sony does a gr8 job again just like what they did last year . From nintendo i dont have that manny expectations since i dont have a Wii , but a new pokemon game for the ds, wii or a New DS would be sweet . I am happy 4 my friends that love rpgs & only have a 360 , now they ll be able to play 1 of thier favourite franchise on the 360 
, congrats guys , enjoy FF 13 when its out 
. i a m a little sick at the moment :(, got some fever , i ve got not that much time to write more ,so this blog is just my comment that i made on 1 of my newest & coolest gs friend s blog that i made sometime ago .
Sony , you better show us a Teaser for God of War III now , crossing my fingers on this 1 :oops: :wink:.
EDIT - I just finished watching both Nintendo ,Sony Press conferences & most of the e3 stuff , nintendo - dont even ask me about nintendos press conf , the worst E3 press conference ever , the only thing that really excited me was Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars & Spore for The DS .

Sony s press conference on the other hand was the best out of the 3 for me , they finally announced God of War 3 , here is the God of War 3 Trailer :oops: . we finally saw Kratos in GOW III & it was absolutely stunning to see kratos on the ps3 , thanks a lot sony .
Plus a whole bunch of new psp games were announced & over a 130 ps2 games , now thats really awesome that sony aint giving up on the ps2 anytime soon . New Resistance for the psp is just plain sweet , though i didnt enjoyed the first game that much , but with the resistance 2 footage & psp resistance , i am looking forward to this franchise . overall the press conference wasnt filled with that much surprises , a new Ratchet & clank game was announced for the ps3 , which btw is gr8 news for platformers .
Is sony out of thier mind or what :P coz at e3 they announced M A G .

Zipper Interactive showed up to the Sony PRess Conference in Los Angeles for E3 2008 to talk about their newest giant video game project, MAG.
MAG stands for Massive Action Game, which may sound like a misnomer, but from what Sony is showing at the show that may just be facts.
MAG will support up to 256 players online, in eight player squads. Each squad gets a captain and there is a character growth system that allows players to level up. Medics, commandos, and field demolition characters are just some of the character types.
This all takes place in one world, which according to the trailer is a dirty, barren kind of place. The trailer shown wasn't straight gameplay, but showed a large assortment of weapons, vehicles, and characters.
No release date was announced for MAG.
I wonder how in the hell is all that goona work :roll: :lol: , is it Bye Bye time for Warhawk or every online game available on this planet :P , guess we ll find about that sooner or later. not only this
