I wouldn't mind picking up Kinect eventually, but only if they put out some games for it that I would actually want to play which they haven't.

Exactly. I mean they are pushing it a lot, yet they haven't really showcased any games that really appeal to core gamers. It's a pretty cool technology, just put something out that we want.

Why would they do that when they can keep putting out bullshit that people will buy anyway?

Plus, think about it. What type of any real "core" game could the Kinect work with? I can't think of a single one. Besides just small shit like voice recognition and other minor stuff. I truly believe you will never see an all Kinect core game. It's impossible. It's because it has zero controller at all, which of course they hype the shit out of, but that is exactly what paints the device into a corner of casual bullshit.

Just finished watching.

The Kinect Sports stuff looks like it could be a cool idea, like an enhanced version of Wii Sports, but without holding an actual controller I'm just not buying it. The game would just be guessing about everything and again, the on screen movements were so laggy.

It was funny that the one chick mentioned the skateboard scanning. LOL.

The Dance Central dancers were tearing that shit up.

I still think Kudo is a fucking tool. Does he have eye issues? Why is he always wearing sunglasses?

Overall I would pretty much agree with the grade on the front page but would probably say more of a D than a D-. It was just pretty disappointing on all accounts.

I didn't expect to see Halo 4 at this E3, I knew about the remake of Halo CE though.

Show? Did you see something I didn't? Because all I saw was some short CG clip that showed nothing. It reminded me of the CG clip of Master Chief jumping into that raging battle many years ago to hype Halo 3 and none of that was in the game.

Being surprised by Halo 4 is laughable. Bungie or no Bungie, MS is going to make Halo games until the cows come home.

I could do this all day.

I'm still holding on to the belief that Halo 4 is going to be released for the launch of the 3rd Xbox, that's why I think there was absolutely zero game play from it.

I wouldn't doubt it. Serious rumors are already swirling that MS will introduce the next Xbox at next years E3. It would make sense by then to have a playable version of Halo 4 on it at that time. Then they could have this whole new "trilogy" on the new hardware.

And where the FUCK is my Shadow Complex 2?!?
