I'll start off with what I think about the Xbox 360 conference. I'll talk about the first half of the conference while the second I'll talk later.
Rock Band: The Beatles is nothing innovative but it's good that it gives the chance for the most successful band in the world's history to get a chance to be in the game.
Tony Hawk Ride seems to be like a cool idea. For once the Tony Hawk series is actually changing it's way of playing. So yeah, I like the idea of the board though it is quite reminiscent to the one of Shaun White's Snowboarding game for the Wii. Well whatever.
Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2 just looks great as a CoD should look like. Graphics look great for sure. Me not being a CoD fan this looks really good, I especially like it how the demo starts and the snowmobile. Original.
Final Fantasy XIII looks graphically awesome. I've never been into Final Fantasy but this seems like a "worth it" RPG.
Shadow Complex. This being EPIC Games is probably going to be a good game due to their creativity. What's incredible is that it's an aracde with over 10 hours of game play. Looking sharp.
Joy Ride...honestly, wtf? It's a good idea that your own avatar will make it in the game but it just looks silly but I guess once again Microsoft is trying to appeal a younger or "less-core" gamers which is what Nintendo is good at.
Crackdown 2, OMFG! Yes! I never thought there'd be a sequel but it's happening! I love the game play, it was so fun. That's what really made the game. Hopefully it'll have a much better plot and better missions because that's what really missed in the first game. Awesome!
Left 4 Dead 2 to me just looks the same as the one released half a year ago. It's a good game but it better be innovative and have some new cool ideas although it does look good enough since Left 4 Dead is a cool game especially when it comes to co-op.
Splinter Cell: Conviction. Damn, I'd never thought this game was ever to come out. I thought Sam Fisher had a beard in this one but they said they changed it. Judging by the demo, realistic graphics and it looks really awesome when it comes to stealthiness. It's so awesome how he knocks down the lights and takes all the enemies down. Looking great!
Forza Motorsport 3 just looks insane! Check out the graphics! OMFG! Love it! It definitely does seem to be the best-looking racing game at the moment. The amount of cars is, fuck!
Halo: ODST...What more can I say, it's Halo. Halo being such a great series this is not going to disappoint. From the beginning of the demo it's cool how you see yourself in the pod and then the massive explosion. I like it so much, looks like a very different Halo. Cool for sure. I don't know why it sort of reminds me of F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin when he gets out of the pod. The graphics has improved, I know this for sure, I'm getting this.
Halo: Reach. Well nothing really said about it but anyways, cool.
Alan Wake looks interesting enough. More different than what the other games looked like due to it being maybe more, spooky? Well as I've said with many of the rest, looking good.
Perhaps you may think that I'm being too optimistic with these game, especially because they're on the Xbox 360 press conference but really I'm just being positive. I don't want to sound too pesimistic. After all, we'll see what they'll be like when their time of release comes.
