Like a child on Christmas morning, I awoke with the highest expectations when I ran to my computer to watch the Microsoft press conference. They truly started off with a bang showing off Fallout 3, which looked a little underwhelming to be honest. Then it went on to Resident Evil 5 which looks amazing and has been taken to a new level with the online co-op mode which fits very well into the story. Peter Molyneux came out with his usual swagger but once the controller was in his hand Fable II had to do the talking for him. I believe it showed very well, while the graphics were not anything to be really amazed by but the new co-op features that the game boasts look very intriguing. CliffyB came out and showed Gears 2, which looked exactly the same as its predecessor, which trust me, is not a bad thing.
Then the conference took a dive, from a fat chick dancing on stage to a terrible singing performance. While the music games were nice,. they were still more of the same, GH World tour and Rockband 2 both boasted of their magnificent soundtracks.
Thinking I was going to leave underwhelmed and unhappy, Square came out and announced FFXIII for Xbox 360.
World Shattering.....
God Damn, that's all I can say.
