E3's Finally Here... And Nintendo Already Lost...

The Electronic Entertainment Expo of 2009 (E3 '09 for short) is already/finally upon us; a video game news event where all the companies get together to have a party celebrating video games as they promote themselves with press conferences full of what gamers hope to be huge announcements and loads of footage from games being shown, as opposed to dumb sales charts and graphs... E3's not an actual contest until gamers watching and critical journalists make it one; we're the ones who judge which company's press conference was the absolute most impressive. There is of course always room for debate though...
Well, as if the title of this post isn't any clue, Microsoft's conference was amazing and awesome; I wasn't expecting that. If I didn't have to summarize what was so mind-blowing I would just tell you that my next few hundred dollars are spent... On an XBOX 360 once I save up. Actually, I won't start saving up until after I buy Call of Duty 4 for my PC. The official sequel to COD4, Modern WarFare 2, looked incredible yesterday on the 360 by the way. Anyway, the most amazingest (that's how awesome it is) surprise announcement was this: Project Natal is [the codename for] a motion sensing camera which recognizes people by their appearance and voice, and allows revolutionary new changes to be made to the way we interact with video games. I can't list all of it's other features; just search "Project Natal Trailer" on YouTube and you'll probably find it.
When you watch more info about it, you'll fully understand why Nintendo's chances at impressing us even more are slim, but only God knows. The best E3 coverage is G4's live television broadcast, although if you don't receive G4 as a cable channel, check out IGN's E3 2009 page.

I hope you enjoy the rest of E3 and/or my coverage on Twitter and this blog! Thanks for stopping by!
