With today (the time of this writing the press briefing is now over) being the day many Xbox hopeful have been waiting for, all of the pent up anxiety about the “secret” or not so secret announcement swirling around where at a fever high. Regardless of what actually happen, what do you think now? Do you like the direction the Xbox Platform is going? Do you feel underwhelmed or ecstatic?

I was happy with the exclusive games at the show. Finally some Alan Wake ! Forza 3 looked great. I wish they went ino the XBLA a bit and Im stoked about about Facebook. The Project Natal looks cool. I just dont like that this whole thing is still to chase after the Wii. No matter how much more advanced the camera is over a Wii mote its still gonna have one issue. Its an add-on and I bet it wont be cheap. And I still dont want my gamimg to all be done with motion control (I dont see this a s a break through or the future of gaming) . You need to have a controller to play "Great games". I dont see this working with a game like Halo 4 or Gears 3. Im sure if MS wants to but if not then its going to be for dumbed down game like the ones on the Wii just a bit better (how many cooking Mommas do we need). So is that good , I dont know. Milo was cool though …………………..

Wait a sec………."You need to have a controller to play "Great games". Are you sure? We need a controller to play the great games we are already familiar with. The possibly of what Project Natal can be if it works as advertised is ridiculous. "Great games" are great games, not games that are interacted with by a controller/ keyboard and mouse only. What those great games are to come are yet to been seen, but limiting them to what were are familiar with is a recipe for the game industry to fail by continuing its ignorance of the "haves" (those who know how to use previous interfaces) and the "have not's" (everyone else afraid of those interfaces).
