Major Announcements Include:
Left 4 Dead 2 - with more of everything, exclusive to 360 & PC on November 17
Crackdown 2 – citizens turning into zombies (the hip new trend it seems)
Forza 3 – coming this fall with new graphics engine
Halo Reach – another Halo title, with free beta access w/ purchase of Halo ODST
Metal Gear Solid Rising – first Metal Gear game on the 360, starring Raiden
Xbox Live integrating with Last.FM, Facebook, and Twitter – allows you to upload in-game screens to your Facebook account, etc.
Project Natal – Microsoft’s answer to the Wii, which allows for motion capture with only the camera
The Microsoft keynote sounds pretty promising. The demo that was used for Project Natal was quite interesting, as it showed a woman looking at the screen and the boy in the game looking right back at her and reacting to her. I’m also a little surprised to see a Left 4 Dead sequel coming out in just a year, but I guess with the amount of success Left 4 Dead 1 gained since last year, it was inevitable. Looks like this fall is the year of monster sequels on the 360 for me: BioShock 2, Modern Warfare 2, and now Left 4 Dead 2 (I guess I’ll also mention Assassin’s Creed 2, Army of Two “2″, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and Mass Effect 2 as well).
