Microsofts 2010 E3 presentation has come and gone, and was it awesome.

The first great game was announced by Hideo Kojima and introduced by Shiganobu Matsayama, it is called, Metal Gear Solid Rising and stars Raiden, the graphics were stunning and beautiful, the game seems to take a "Zan datsu" theme, which means cut everything and thats what Raiden did in the trailer, he sliced and diced a van and several enemies.

A few other games were also demoed, which are, Gears Of Wars 3, which has a new beast mode, Fable 3, Codename Kingdoms and Halo Reach.

Then it went on to the Kinect presentation, which was quite astounding, here is a list of things you can do:
Control your console with movement and voice commands.
Video chat with your Xbox Live friends and MSN friends, you can also watch movies with them.
The camera tracks your movement automatically.
Watch movies, only using your voice and hands.

The presentation went on to talk about the games, here is a list of some of the games: Kinectimals, a game where you can interact with one of 48 animals and participate in 90 activities.
Kinect sports, which includes Football, Bowling and Boxing amongst other sports related games.
Kinect Joy Ride, a racing game.
Kinect Adventures, a a game where you use your whole body and play through 20 adventures.

Ubisoft revealed a game called Your Shape Fitness Evolved, and Harmonix revealed a dance game called Dance Central, which has 600 moves and 90 routines. Lucas Arts also revealed that they are working on a Kinect based game. The last Kinect game that was showcased was Forza Motor Sport.

Kinect will go on sale this November the 4th in North America and will have 15 games at launch.

The most exciting part was the end, where Microsoft revealed a smaller redesigned Xbox 360 console, it is black, sexy, it will have a 250GB HDD, with built in Wireless N and will sell for the great price of $299, better still, it goes on sale today.



Thats the end of my Microsoft report, hope you enjoyed reading.

Rising was the only good game, skittles was cute, new 360 looks hot and the kinetic footage was just that footage. The actors were just mimicking the video...
