Tony Hawk's Ride


Best comment : "Tony Hawk is hawking his fake board for his real game".
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Final Fantasy XIII

Also for the first time ever, they revealed the Esper/Summon Odin. Instead of just one single flashy magic attack. You can team up side by side with it to do combo attacks. I think.
From this point on, these games will be Xbox 360 exclusives
Shadow Compex
2D shooter game. Next. Okay, it feels like Metroid
Joy Ride
Cartoonish game, you are able to trick out your ride, catch huge air and drive your avatar wild
Crackdown 2

Left 4 Dead 2

I can't begin to express my feelings when I saw the preview of the trailer. Yes I'm pumped that there's a sequel coming out, but BARELY 1 year after the initial 1?!?! I can't help but feel that the first L4D wasn't really worth the purchase now. My fingers are crossed now in hopes that the sequel will offer discounts for the owners of the first game. *crossed*
Splinter cell
Interesting. But not my choice of games. Next
Forza 3


Oh and there's also customizations! Not to mention over 400 cars will be featured. And the ability to create and upload hi-def videos of Fast and Furious'ish style driving to be shared over the Xbox live community. I'm definitely bought. That is, until Sony's own press conference tomorrow *crosses fingers for Gran Turismo release*
Halo 3 : ODST
Pass
Halo : Reach
Pass
Alan Wake


A psychological action thriller. Now this one looks good. You play as Alan Wake i guess, a writer. Gone on a vacation, then his wife goes missing and he needs to locate her. Then at night, things go bump,shit gets thrown around in the forest.Then you go around with a flashlight and apparently spirits appear and when you shine your light at it, it actually incinirates/injures them. Coming soon @ Spring 2010
Metal Gear Solid Rising

It's now on the Xbox 360 instead of being PS3 exclusive. Announced by the man himself. Hideo Kajima. Complete with exclamation sound entrance. But this latest installament isn't about Solid Snake. Apparently it's about Raiden.
Latest innovations by Microsoft
Last.FM + Xbox live
Another reason to be glued to your sofa.
Netflix on Xbox 360.
Sky TV tie-in with no additional hardware required. now all movies will be in full HD 1080p. Participating countries to be extended to 18. And you no longer need to wait for the movies to be downloaded. It's INSTANT now.
Also Enjoy movies/shows with friends from around the world at the comforts of your own couch. Your friends are represented by mini avatars at the bottom of the screen and you are able to send cheer/boo commands
Facebook tie-in
Nothing to shout about, access FB from your Xbox and see which friends have Xbox with Facebook. See your friend's photo etc.
Twitter on Xbox 360
Self-explanatory
Project Natal - The latest motion sensor controller by Microsoft

Move over Wii, Microsoft is coming in with their latest innovation. A motion sensor that is able to sense your every motion. Think web-cam
Full-body motion capture goodness. I'm impressed. Let's see, there's voice recognition for game show games for gatherings. There's facial recognition. Also you can scan any external objects and the controller recognizes it and puts it in-game. I.E a kid scans his skateboard front and back, then it's imported to the game.
You are able to log-in to your account via facial recognition. How cool is that? How about flipping thru songs/movie listings with your hands from your sofa, that's possible too.
Project Natal's capabilities shown in video : http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10253576-56.html
But the best feature (also the last) is the imaginary friend demo Milo/Mylo :

Mylo was shown actually understanding speech, passing items to the player and receiving items from the player too (A drawing by the player), as the player drew on a piece of paper,and scanned it on the sensors.
Finally this concludes the Microsoft E3 Press Conference 2009, I hope you have been enlightened by this post as much as I have, looking forward to Sony and Nintendo's press conference to see what they have up their sleeves. Which will be shown on June 2nd 11am and 9am Pacific time respectively.
P.S. I was having troubles earlier viewing the start of the press conference on Gametrailers.com so I moved to Gamespot.com and it proved to be wayyyy better.
