  E3 Microsoft Confrence

  Despite the problems here at GameSpot I was still able to watch most of the conference on G4. The confrence was 2 hours long. Just in case you missed it here is the rundown: Games Shown : The Beatles : Rock Band, Modern Warfare 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Shadow , Joy Ride, Crackdown 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell : Conviction, Forza MorterSports 3, Halo 3 : ODST (Note: I'm pretty sure that ODST = Orbital Drop Shock Trooper because that is what he said you are playing as), Halo : Reach, Alan Wake, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid : Rising, and Milo(which is used with the Natal).
  
  Announcements: last.fm on X-box live, video service redone and releced as Zune tv, watch/listen to movies/music with friends on X-box Live, partnership with facebook a.k.a. facebook on X-box live,Natal X-Box360's version of the Eyetoy only a thousand times better (or at least that's what their trying to say), The conference over all was pretty good even though I don't own an X-Box 360. They also had their own technical difficulties during the preview of Shadow . I was not happy about Metal Gear Solid 4 being ported to the X-Box 360 I nearly cried (Konami you sell-outs). Project Natal (as they are calling it) is like an eyetoy only it captures full body movements and has voice recognition. The only problem I have with this is that they say that it will take away the need of a controller and that anyone can use it. My question is doesn't that mean that your taking away from a portion of your other users, like people who are mute or people who are partially paralyzed?
  
  Lets hope that GameSpot can get it together for the Sony and Nintendo conferences. If they don't I'll do this for the other conferences too.

  Wow...... Things have really changed from the last time I was here....

  It's been a year or two since I was here last and it has changed quite a bit. Especially when you compare it to GameFAQs, which hasn't changed all that much. I know I've been gone for a while, but I'll try to make a habit of checking on you guy at least once or twice a month. It's too bad that school's taken over my life, otherwise I would be here more often. This semester has been the worst. Thanks to my crazy english class I haven't been able to do much of anything. Due to the worst essay topics ever, I've had to cut back on my time with video games.

  I'm back again!

  Due to a difficult semister, I was not able to come here at all.
  Now that I have an easier semister I will be here more often.
  Can anyone tell me what I have missed?
