MICROSOFT CONFERENCE
Update #1
They are showing Unreal Championship 2 right now with CG and Gameplay trailers. Lots of shooting and blood. Following that is a trailer for Shrek 2, which is an upcoming platformer. They are showing Shrek and 9 of his friends, and stuff from the upcoming movie that\'s never been seen.
Update #2
They are now showing the upcoming Full Spectrum Warrior, which looks according to Justin Davis at the conference now, "incredibly realistic." Guys take cover behind cars, tanks are shooting, etc. These are just a series of trailers to open the show. No one has spoken yet.
Update #3
They are currently showing MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf, which looks mostly like CG. The next Conker game is currently being shown which is spoofing a scene from Terminator. Now they are showing Conker multiplayer gameplay which "looks way, way nicer than at last E3," says Justin Davis. Conker: Live and Reloaded is the official title.
Update #4
They are now showing a video for the anticipated Fable. You can be whatever you want to be... hero, tyrant, assassin, etc. Pretty much what we\'ve seen in the past about Fable.
Now they are showing a video for Star Wars: Republic Commando, which looks visually impressive. There is some squad-based combat going on right now. They are destroying a huge enemy on-screen right now. "The Squad is your weapon" was the motto.
Update #5
Jay Allard is talking about "changing the game" with software and how they went about creating Xbox Live by speaking to real gamers. They are also doing a parody of the Apprentice with Donald Trump right now. They are giving people assignments with online games. They are also poking fun at Sony through this parody; about how they don\'t really have a network and how Xbox Live is so much better than Sony Online.
Update #6
The parody is continuing and they are making fun of Sony for not having integrated features in their online service; Sony didn\'t talk to its customers or gamers. Trump is saying, "How come the adpater isn\'t every box like the Xbox has." TXB was up against some Sony people, and the Sony people ended up getting fired for not having a good online system.
Now Jay Allard is talking again... 150 games on LIVE, 1 million LIVE subscribers and 24 countries are participating. "There\'s always something to do on Xbox Live." Now they are demonstrating the new Xbox Live features, showing the dashboard on-screen.
X box parody of Sony online ?
Let me check...
Microsoft bashing a service thats 100% free...
yup sounds about right !...
Anway other than Halo 2... nothing of any intrest at all...
Not even a FABLE release date...
how pathetic
Ah well at least there is the big Metriod Prime 2....Zelda 2 and Resident Evil 4 reveal to happen :D.

That was horribly stupid of them to attack Sony like that. They\'ve got a better online service, but what about everything else, MS? It\'d be funny if Sony decided to rub the sales difference in their faces, but I know it won\'t happen because Sony\'s better than that.
I do think they had a pretty decent showing. There was more to cheer for than HALO 2, though it obviously got the most cheers, but that\'s understandable... ;)
Sony and Nintendo are going to draw a lot more attention... PSP, DS, and a bunch more AAA titles to show.

To be 100% honest i think this year its going to be between Sony & nintendo for who will get best of the show. (due to some of the titles and the PSP and DS)
Halo 2 does look Very nice though.i might eat my own words and buy the limited Edition if it gets released in the UK.
Shame that games like Fable where just foot notes in the press confrence...
Microsoft should of focused more on these exclusive titles.

FF isn\'t free...
