My E3 Thoughts – MONDAY

Thought I’d blast down some of my thoughts on this year’s E3, just so I can look back one day and realise what a load of shit I talk.

1. Kinect is a terrible, terrible name. Just terrible.

2. The Microsoft Conference was a total bust. If you’re only showing a few sequels, a (brilliant looking) multiformat game, and a load of Wii retreads, you’re in trouble.

3. Using Kinect to navigate the Xbox dashboard looks r e a l l y s l o w

4. A Need for Speed Hot Pursuit game, developed by Criterion is GREAT NEWS.

5. Also great news is a VIETNAM expansion for Battlefield 2: Bad Company

6. Giving new Xboxes to every paid journo in the audience of the Microsoft Conference felt a bit crass. If I was one of those journos, I’d be gifting it to a children’s hospital or something.

That’s it so far!
