And At Last You Saw...........

Video games have often carried a heavy burden since their inception. Before they were viewed as primarily a form of pure entertainment and joy, offering an expierence away from the stressfull recesses of life. Over the years, technology has changed alongside artistic direction and the scale of games. Games can bring about the weight of emotion in conjuction with its grandious scale. It is unfair to hail Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords as a monumental achievement in games. It carries its inane flaws both aesthetically and performance wise.

Microsoft Press Conference at E3



So after a pretty awkward opening with the Beatles Rock Band demonstration, the Microsoft press Conference was underway. There were some very impressive games being shown off: Alan Wake, SplinterCell Conviction, Halo ODST, Left4Dead2, Modern Warefare 2, and better Netflix support. The true gaming news came directly after, when Microsoft officially won E3 with this bombshell.

Twitter and Facebook are now coming to Xbox Live. Now something that is mitigated to your PC and cellular device can now be infected into your console. Aren't you glad now? Truly now gaming will evolve into the forced awkward community it so sorely needs to be. The future of gaming is not charging fifty dollars a year for people to use your Internet service. Obviously it isn't for you to reassure your consumers on the integrity of your console. Lastly it isn't about greater support for community XNA titles and those rare "good" games. The future of gaming is Twitter and Facebook, on my 360. Wonderful.
