Microsoft made some big announcements yesterday at E3. Among them were the 360 dashboard update, the addition of avatars and a new partnership with Netflix. That's not all though. Let's take a look at what they announced and what it all means to us as gamers.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
Utter disappointment overall. Where are their new exclusive games? Do they even have any? -__-
It was awesome !
Netflix + Mii's + Gears 2 + FF + Fallout !!!
Cant wait to see what Sony has got !
It sucked, M$ just announced all of the new games which they bought cus they can't make their own!
Boycott this evil monopoly or watch gaming go down the drain!
They had an awesome show, anyone saying the opposite is a fanboy in denial. BTW, GeOW2 is looking very impressive. Cant wait to see if Sony can answer MS today.

Yeah, whatever makes you feel better.
From a core gamers perspective - it was real let down.
No Forza 3 or Alan Wake or Halo game - no new franchises at all. Nice dash update, horrid Wii's and some great news if you like to download movies (but I don't).
The FF13 was a real head turner - but as an owner of all the machines that means nothing to me, I'm looking for 360 exclusive stuff.
Portal - now thats nice! At least GOW2 and Fable2 won't let me down.
The only thing that makes the MS confernece start to look real good, is just how awful the Nintendo one was. Compared to that, the MS one was crammed with joy!
I rather suspect Sony will come out looking good as they have a huge number of first party studios developing some pretty good looking stuff, and we can suspect a few suprises too. God of War 3 has to be a huge one, but I'm expecting announcements about the new Team Ico project, a bunch of MMO's, maybe a new Dark Cloud, and whole bunch more.
I certainly hope so anyway - its been a slightly dissapointing E3 so far and I want some new titles to get excited about!!! Give me more!! :)
