Microsoft E3 Press Conference by Jimbo on 07-14-2008 at 08:23 PM
The conference ended over an hour ago now and just wanted to see who watched it and what you guys are most looking forward to.
I personally cannot wait for Gears 2, i mean it looks so fucking awesome. The beta footage that was leaked, all the map previews, the interviews with Cliffy B just make it seem even more awesome!!
I also can't wait to see the new portal game coming to the XBLA 
EDIT: and how could i forget the new dashboard and the new avatars!!

In my opinion, it was pretty rubbish, they focused a lot of games that were multi-platform. I found it funny they had Duffy singing longer than the Residential Evil 5 demo.
They mentioned nothing on Halo Wars, price cuts nor their new controller, which was weird and they were the good things I was expecting.

I hate the new dashboard and avatars. It couldn't be more kiddy, It seems to me they're trying to appeal mostly to the younger audience, as family and E-rated games were heavily backed.
It's a shame.
However Gears 2 and Fallout 3 should be awesome. FFXIII for those who are into it. Lips also looked pretty cool, in the fact you can use any music from you zune/iPod.
Other than that it was a shit and disappointing conference.

Why they didn't mention any of this in the conference I do not know. Definitely woulda made me feel better about that dashboard.

.Also, did I miss something or was Halo Wars not announced like it was supposed to be
(cable went deformed near the end).Also, the singer sung her own song on the new "Lips" game and I missed her mark, but it was surely not 100%, anybody know what it was
?

When I saw the avatars I thought of Miis. I can't wait for Microsoft's own version of Wii Sports, Play, and Fit.

That being said:
Halo Wars E3 2008 Cinematic Trailer
Halo Wars E3 2008 Gameplay Clip
As for the motion controller, there has been no confirmation of an official Microsoft controller whatsoever as of yet (the Darwin hasn't yet been confirmed as an official first party controller). Perhaps they're just not ready or are saving it for later.
