    As a proud Zune owner and Zune Pass subscriber, I am super pumped for Lips.

    Viva Pinata 2, Banjo Kazooie, Scene It!, Galaga: Legions and nearly everything else they showed looked super hot.

    About the only thing that looked disappointing to me is Fable 2 but I'm reserving full judgement until release. Oh and that In the Movies game looked pretty fucking weak; we've seen the EyeToy before, instead of making me swat wasps, why not do something actually innovative with it as Sony is starting to experiment with.

    With Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean 4, Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, and now Final Fantasy 13 (in addition to Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, ect) on the 360, do RPG fans have any reason at all to get a PS3?

    Does anyone have a reason for PS3? Every game I was interested in on the PS3 is now on 360. Except for MGS4 but I'm not buying a PS3 just for that.

    This post really isnt a rag on the PS3, all of these games coming out on the 360 rags on it enough.

    I am seriously going to hate the new menu system. And avatars? WTF?!?! I can only hope I don't have to use them in games. Otherwise, I'll start buying more multiplatform games on the PS3 to avoid it.

    I have a custom theme on my 360 now, will I be able to have custom backgrounds with this new one? I don't like how it looks.

    I think they said it's customizable to some extent. I'm really hoping I can get rid of the stupid avatars Why does MS just have to copy everything of the competition?

    Disgaea 3 and Valkyria Chronicles...

    Games don't seem to be moving to the 360, but instead release for both systems, so whichever system you own is the one that will sound better. Many games are getting PC versions as well.

    The Last Remnant was the only mention of the 'Games For Windows' titles that I saw at the news conference...I was disappointed.

    Final Fantasy XIII was a coup but irrelevant (to me) since I have both systems. That was the only news and the trailer they showed wasn't really new. Also no date was attached to it again.

    Good to see Resident Evil 5 dated.

    No real news here, though we got to see some gameplay footage of the games. Fallout 3 looked too 'open', though cool enough. Gears looked awesome, Resident Evil looked good but there was no combat, just shooting zombies standing still...no hardware announcement??

    Fable II - they did not show any combat, just character interaction mumbo jumbo...

    Surprisingly, RE5 Online co-op, and Galaga: Legions, were all that really grabbed my attention, so far.

    Everything else - meh...

    Damn, I think I am becoming jaded....

    To be honest, the only one of those I care about is the Team Ico game and no one even knows anything about it.

    Motorstorm was bad, Disgaea was fun back when it first came out, the first Killzone was a dud and the second looks more of the same, Resistance is only hyped up because when the ps3 was launched it was literally the only good game for months even though it was a pretty average shooter, and if you consider a NARUTO game a must have exclusive then you're weird.

    That's the thing, this is only your opinion. I didn't care for Motorstorm, but it was a well-made game that sold over a million copies and a lot of people liked it. The Killzone PSP game was very well-received, so I don't see why this one would be any worse. I don't see where you get off saying it looks like more of the same when it's easily the most graphically stunning console game we've seen. Graphics aren't everything, but I really doubt that the gameplay won't come together in the 7 months until it releases. Resistance is hyped up because it's a great game from a phenomenal dev studio that has never made a bad game. As far as Naruto goes, have you even seen any of the HD trailers? The game looks amazing, truly a living anime if ever there was one. It may not be your cup of tea, but I know I'll at least rent it.

    I wonder how many of those will go multi-platform. You forgot SOCOM by the way, one which will definitely NOT come out on 360.

    How about an announcement that our XBOX 360's will stop dying on us, here I am again today waiting for another coffin. I don't give an F what the games look like if I don't have reliable hardware to play them on.

    I HATE the new Dashboard, we better be able to use the old ones. The avatars look ridiculously stupid.

    In fact all of these attempts to show 360 as a family game system made Microsoft's conference very annoying to me. That said I am looking forward to Gears 2 and RE 5.
