E3 Report: Xbox 360

So with most of the major announcements taken care of, I figured that I'd talk about E3, starting with what's coming for the 360.

Brutal Legend
Coming from the creative minds at Double Fine, we have Brutal Legend. This is your epic heavy metal hack and slasher, staring talents such as Jack Black and Lemmy Kilmister. I had a hell of a time with Psychonauts and I look forward to doing the same with this.

King of Fighters XII
I love me some old school fighters and KOF seems to be of old school awesomeness, akin to what we saw in Street Fighter IV.

Metal Gear Solid Rising
Kojima-san announced MGSR with a brief trailer showing of a new render of Raiden, the game's hero. Since it's now "Lighting Bolt Action: Metal Gear Solid" I'm guessing were going to get the freaky (but awesome) love-child of Ninja Gaiden and the other MGS games.

Halo 3: ODST
It's Halo, what can I say? But, what draws me to this is how this will be told through the flashbacks of other characters, leading to some very interesting storytelling.

Halo: Reach
I know what this is already, an adaption of the book, "Halo: Fall of Reach". It's going to be a good game none the less, but I smell some franchise milking.

ABP
Home + Guns = Awesome

Bayonetta
Seeing that this is basically a DMC rip-off doesn’t matter to me because it going to be a rip-off done right. Mainly because DMC's creator is leading the project.

Final Fantasy XII
The demo footage that was shown during the press conference was amazing and defiantly tells me that there are really no graphical differences between this and the PS3 Version. Also, the trailer got me hyped up. It was said that Lighting was designed to be a female Cloud and it looks like we’re getting a female Sephiroth too.

Assassin's Creed 2
Everything that has been shown so far is great. From trailer to the demo, it's looking up to be something awesome. I'm just wondering what’s going on with Desmond now.

Project Natal

The big part of the Microsoft press conference was Project Natal. I can't really explain it, but If Steven Spielberg says it’s good, I'd listen to him

That's it for now, I'll have more to come soon.
