Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012 (E3)

[Monkey D. Lars]

Most interesting things were the Smartglass, Tombraider and South Park

[TKz]

Black Ops II looks cool, Black Ops was the only single player part of COD I actually enjoyed, so I might actually play this one. I don't think this'll be a midnight release pick up though.

[Dan]

No surprises. Boo.

It was above average. I overacted about the entertainment thing. Halo and Gears looked good. The tablet thing is OK, if a bit unoriginal.

Best bits were the FIFA 'swearing at the ref' part and South Park.

FUCK. Missed the Microsoft Conference. Were there any embarrassing Kinect Demos?

Nah. The only one I remember was a game about a canon or something. Was pretty rad.

[King Ellis]

Looks like they'll be going over more Gears: Judgement stuff on Gametrailers now.

[Universal]

I'm fine with all the "Entertainment" stuff, I'm okay with Kinect stuff even though it's annoying for the stuff that it looks completely useless for but what really annoys me is every damn year COD or HALO (it seems) is the big reveal of the show and that's what everyone is talking about. Even Gears of War is completely boring me at this point. Just seems like every damn time I turn around it's those 3 franchises for Microsoft.

Hopefully EA has a good press conference because I really don't care much about what Nintendo and Sony does at this point. I'll read the 'recaps'.

CBA to watch & I missed that and Halo.

So Gears & Halo. They lookin' good?

Maybe I didn;t pay attention, the Southpark RPG will it be Arcade of Retail?

It's gonna be retail

My Microsoft Notes:

1. With no signs of new hardware on the horizon, it's really enticing to bite on the 360 for $120-$200 for XBL's community and Kinect.

2. South Park. When the game was first announced, the obvious comparison was Paper Mario. Glad to see it still has a similar feel.

3. Despite the constant Kinect demos, you can tell Microsoft knows what XBox's foundation is: FPS games with multiplayer features.

I wonder why...

[deli]

Despite not liking COD. It's clearly popular so it obvious that people will talk about it.

[Dan]

I was expecting Borderlands 2, unless Sony have that?

[thatshortguy]

CoD and Halo are two brands that are completely circuital at this point. They are no different than Madden, FIFA, or Mario now.

[Your Mom]

New game from Quantic Dream! I'm excited and all I saw was a couple screenshots.

[TKz]

Nintendo might too, I'm sure they'd love a popular FPS to show off in HD on the Wii U.

Supposedly gonna be wedensday before anything about Borderlands 2 is spoken about

[Ruki]

South Park ‏@SouthPark It's official "South Park: The Stick of Truth", hits stores on MARCH 5th, 2013! Watch the exclusive trailer! http://cart.mn/spsot

Too far!

Okay, now we're talkin'. Stephen Totilo has tweeted thusly:

Just heard Microsoft's Phil Spencer confirm on Spike that Xbox Smart Glass will also work on iOS and Android.

Smart.
