jamie2497 said:well that conference was crap.... We didn't really find out anything newNo big announcements, was there even any new games announced...? Besides Viva pinata..
I have to agree and that second guy who presented just after peter was the most annoying part of the conference for me, i swear he said brother to that black guy
But my god did Halo look good in that last trailer along with Lost Odyssey and Mass Effect and COD4, oh and Resident Evil 5. I don't get how MS managed to make conference so meh considering the line up it has
No fake tattoo either
All the trailers are up now on the marketplace.
I think the main focus of it was basically baiting the competition into a christmas 07 contest, like how the xbox has the 3 biggest games.
Sony and nintendo may make big announcements, but I'd like to see their games lineup for the rest of this year.

I'm not really that bothered about sequels and stuff, if its a good game then its a good game, regardless if its new or just updated. I think Peter Moore was right when he said that its going to be a good christmas for Xbox owners. Even though Kayne and Lynch, stranglehold etc. are multiplat, 360 owners still get them.
