E3 2010: Microsoft Keynote

Ladies and gentlemen, I am now ready to discuss about the Keynote of Microsoft. I mean, sure they have something to discuss about when it comes to their upcoming X-Box 720 or whatever its called, right? Who ever heard of this Kinect stuff or whatever it is.

Kinect for Xbox 360 is launching worldwide this holiday, beginning with North America on November 4th, 2010.

Okay. But sure there will be games to go with it, right?

The launch lineup will include over 15 titles, including Kinect Sports, Kinectimals, Kinect Joy Ride, EA Sports Active 2, Kinect Adventures, Dance Central, and a few others.

Does this sound familiar to you? It sounds like Microsoft is copying Nintendo. Surely they're coming out with a new hardware announcement and all. Ether that or continue to satisfy their little white X-Box

Don Mattrick showed off the new Xbox 360 hardware, and it's hella shiny. Here's what the slim 360 is packing: 250 GB hard drive, built-in 802.11n wi-fi, and it's supposed to be Kinect ready and "whisper quiet."

....

OMG! The X-Box has gone smaller and blacker. GLENN BECK WAS RIGHT! AHHHHHHHH!

But enough talk about the hardware. Now the software.

First up is Metal Gear Solid Rising. In this Snake-less game, you once again play as Raiden, the white-haired Mama's Boy of the Metal Gear universe. From what I've heard, this game is more of a hack n slash game that allows you to cut your enemies into pieces.



Makes watermeleon slicing look fun.

Other games that are to look out for includes Call of Duty: Black Ops, Fable 3, and Gears of War 3. Unlike previous Call of Duty games, this seems more Metal Gear-like

And finally, Halo Reach. Halo's term "Combat Evolved" has gone up and out as this game finally introduces Space Battles. Ever wanted to frag your opponent's jet in a jet? Now you can



That's it for Microsoft's Keynote. You can read more information at Destructoid or IGN: Kinect Though I'd have to say that Kinect Star Wars game does look interesting. If only I had a real lightsaber.

Note: Nintendo and Sony's Keynote tomorrow.
