So I was watching the MSoft E3 conference live via Gametrailers.com and here are my impressions:

1. 1st few minutes were amazing:

- COD, Metal Gear Rising, GOW3

2. Halo Reach eventhough I am not a fan of FPS have added space sim battles ala 'starfox'

3.Kinect UI features: video chat, speech recognition to turn on system(like an advanced 'clapper'), navigating menus, etc.

Then...it goes downhill from there as the audience seems to grow silent...

-its like watching Nintendo's E3 2008 conference all over again with added 'scripted', fake gamer actors/actresses.

-I wonder how many people in the audience made a 'facepalm' motion after being exposed to what 'Kudo' described as a years worth of innovated creative design that would revolutionize gameplay

4. The most redeeming reveal(as if Microsoft already knows about the tepid reaction to Kinect), is to present a redesigned Xbox 360 with(finally) built-in WiFi and 'whisper quiet' system and they are giving, or bribing, all the media presses for free who attended their 'lacklustre' show.

I just hope Nintendo and Sony will have better conferences tomorrow. Making fun of Kinect gameplay would make my day!
