Bottomline..This is Micrsoft conference to win or lose. Winning has nothing to do with the opinions of the Microsoft haters that reside on the boards and lil' blog sites..
Microsoft's two press conference approach is brilliant. The future is clearly dependant on one thing.and that is NATAL (or whatever it will be called).
If Microsoft pulls it off with a great E3 showing for Natal..then expect the biggest sales boost for the 360 in the history of ...
Cool tidbits..and bro you actually might have broke some news..
In fact.NO ONE has reported on the Family Live pricing..
What games did you play for Move?
also up to this point it almost actually seemed like Natal might have stuck as the name..so for the rep to make that comment makes me think the change will be at the E3 Natal Press conference..
Good Stuff

World at War was a blast..Especially the co-op and Zombie mode..The Black Ops trailer actually looked good..
All the corny Kotick hate is getting old..We get it..Move on...I'm sure there will be another useless petition before Trey drops 'Ops'..
The game will sell like hotcakes and people on this site forget the simple fact is that people LOVE COD..last one turned out to be top selling game ever on the PS3.
But then again th...
It's 2010..N4G.com went through all of this..read the comments and it's Groundhog's day..
But enough about that..If a 1 million PS3 lead over the 360 makes you happy..then by all means celebrate..
Uk & US charts are honestly what matters the most this gen..
The 360 can lose to the PS3 Japan sales by ANY margin..and it has ZERO impact on Micrsoft gaming sales..
Even the CREAM of the PS3 crop like Unchar...
LMAO..Evil is DEAD wrong fellas..
Read the wrong link..IGN gave em' both 90s..Massive Fail X 1000!
Either way to be even 'tied' with Heavy Rain is as good as it gets in 2010..
Two completely different styles of game play and story telling..both obviously getting love from the best site out there
The 8.5s are coming after Geoff Keoughly broke the cardinal rule and added his two cents that he predicted the g...
It takes 'borderland' ballzz to redirect your game that late in the process with a team as small as Remedy..after reading the story behind the delay..it's clear that Remedy has them..
I definately love the fact that they went for it and are standing behind their baby..
IGN even rated it higher than Heavy Rain which is a huge compliment to the pedigree of A.W...
I'm looking forward to diving into this game head first..but...
Hmmm..Look at history and you decide..
With all due respect (or lack thereof)...Heavy Rain was a great game..but only PS3 hardliners pretend that we will play it's 8-hour camapaign over and over every day for the rest of 2010.
It's obviously not possible for another game to get love..
IGN gave Alan Wake-90% & Heavy Rain-87% so what's your point..
At the end of the day one is ushering in the QTE heavy e...
Look the 'standard' trolls are doing what they do best..won't change a thing about Alan Wake..
IGN racked the game in the top tier of ALL the console exclusives that have arrived thus far in 2010..
The Big Console Exclusives Games (IGN) in 2010 (IGN)
1. Mass Effect 2-96%
2. God of War 3-93%
4. Splinter Cell Conviction-93%

5. MAG-70%

So far, 1,170,112 people have played the beta.
Together, they have played 14,205,611 matches.
In these matches have been 157,972,986 kills.
And all of this has happened in the 936,864,266 seconds spent playing the game. For those of us who don't count the seconds of our lives, that's 15.6 million minutes, 260,000 hours, 10,843 days, or a little under 30 years.
And they honestly think another game is going to t...
Said it in another comment..
The Reach Beta opening day was the most fun I've had with friends online since Halo 3..
In fact it's crazy how a simple Beta is trumping alot of M-player experiences from other FULL retail games..
Although..I thought Blur was crazy addicting as well
Evil
By the time I made it home..it took 2 and a half hours to get in..
3 quarters of my friends list were still attempting to get in as well..
But when we finally did..WOW..
Even a few days in..nothing compares to that first night..we cannot stop talking about it at work..in fact we got a people scrambling for ODST just to try it..
I have not had that much pure fun since that first multiplayer game 3 years ago when Halo 3...
Heavy Rain didn't get Uncharted 2 scores either but it was WELL worth the experience..
Not that I'm even comparing the two..but as a huge survival horror han and only gettnig slim pickens this gen..Alan Wake is easily one of the games at the top of my must buy list..and this only came about with the recent trailers
I'll take an OXM '9' ANY day..5 years in the making or not..
Evil
Crysis 2 won't topple the king..especially when the king's definateive sequel is dropping in the same year..But it will be fun to look back on this quote later in the year..
The Beta proved to me that Halo Reach could have only been Multiplayer only over Live and it still would have been the top game of 2010.
It's not even funny how ridiculously huge Halo Reach is going to be in September..Crysis 2 may turn out to be an outstanding title..but yo...
These anonymous detractors who go on record for every site that is pro-Sony will have ZERO impact on Natal.
The same criticism that Microsoft didn't show anything yet is honestly boring and still as unwarranted as it was all year.
It is a FACT..that Natal will have it's own press conference at E3 this year. Sony waited for a conference over 8 months later t catch up to what MS showed with Natal..even going as far as mimicking the Natal promo ad....
Just like the Halo Reach & Blur Beta reminded me in spades..playing a game with 3 close friends over LIVE is PURE fun.
The funny part is reviews like this can't even contain the fact that the game is fun.
The 4 player co-op campaign and the huge multi-player might give this game the following that this title needs to succeed..in fact the only summarized knock this guy had on the game is that it didn't concentrate on the solo campaign??
It's safe to say that N4G.com was sorely missed when it was down..
But who knew what the fellas behind the curtain had in store for us daily visitors.
It's safe to say that N4G.com will easily become one of the most influential gaming sites on the web. (which IMO is arguable that it wasnt rapidly becoming that as it already was)..but with the addition of movies etc. via the new add-ons it might become so much more.
Interestingly...
I hate to get in this but your comments are pure comedy..
Only Fan toddlers grasp at straws about an advertising budget to whine about the sales of the game..
Do Iron Man, Transformers, Star wars, and Lord of the Ring fans hate on those movies because they have huge advertising budgets?
Microsoft backed halo with a big budget because they believed in their investment and let the world know. It's what EVERY big game does to get the word out..ADVERTI...
LOL @ eating that Lou 'Hater' alive..
Look the silly Halo Bashing has been around forever..these dudes are dinosaurs on repeat..they are so distraught that they will spend comment after comment trying to pretend Halo is inferir to ANYTHING out there..
Let em' babble..while millions of us will be playing the Halo Reach Beta on Monday..
At the end of the day..Reach will dominate the gaming world in 2010..Halo fans will be in gaming heaven..and the ha...
Could Santa Monica pull off Halo Reach on the PS3? NOPE...
Are we really comparing scripted single player adventure games to First Person Shooters with the best multi-player out there??
Look we get it..we all love God of War 3..yup Uncharted 2 is like 8-9 months old and it's still a graphic phenom..but stop the laughable blanket comparison 9even graphically) to other games..
Did we see HHG make ONE article title 'M.A.G.'s graphics don't come close ...
Love Pachter..but I disagree..
Nintendo is sooo far ahead of the fray that even if they stood firm with pricing, they will be continue to be in great shape.
Parapa can point out that the 'billion' dollar warranty extension hurt the 360..but you can't sleep on the fact that Xbox Live has generated a billion in revenue on it's own.
I'd rather be in the position to relaunch a system and continue to keep a half a billio...
