Okay, back to the E3 stuff. Today I'm going to look at the 360 announcements. I must say that as the new kid on the block the Xbox crew has put there finger on what will really change gaming. People want to get connected, they want that same feel of playing with friends in the living room. I think that Xbox Live Arcade has really nailed this concept perfectly. The ability to buy and play games online, as well as talking to others you are interacting with in the game is brilliant. They are really putting the stranglehold on the online market with this concept. If Sony doesn't do something soon they are going to be in a world of hurt. Games like Bomberman Live are what XBLA was made for. Not the difficulty of a game, but the community that surrounds the game.
Now onto Halo 3. I think the trailer was a bit anticlimactic personally. I do think it's going to be a great game though. The multi-player has gotten tons of good reviews. Halo was really the first theatrical type game done right. I could really care less about the Halo version Xbox.
Like I mentioned earlier Bomberman Live is going to sell a bajillion copies. Just a fun competitive game that is easy to pick up and play in short spurts.
Okay, I think that's it for Microsoft's E3.
