Supposedly Halo 3, Forza 2, Fable 2, Shadowrun, Alan Wake, and many more videos are on XBL Marketplace right now.


Fable 2 teaser
Shadowrun
Halo 3: Screenshots, trailer, info

-Forza 2 announced for the fall
-HD-DVD add-on will be ready for this fall (about 1/3 the size of the 360)
-On October 16th 2007 Grand Theft Auto 4 will be available on Xbox 360. There was no mention of an exclusive to 360.
-Alan Wake is shown through an impressive trailer.
-Gates announces a new platform called Live Anywhere that will roll out when Vista ships. It will be a big part of Vista. It will have cross-platform capability. Mobile phones, Xbox 360, and PC will share tools.

A demo of this new platform is given. Whenever you log onto a system you\'ll log onto Xbox Live. An interface is shown on a PC that uses the same "blade" system as Xbox Live. No matter which platform you are on you\'ll sign in with the same gamertag with the same friends list.

Marketplace will be available on all systems. Now you can download content like Zuma onto your mobile phone. As an example Major Nelson mails a custom car from his phone to a PC. Then begins to customize it on the PC and throws it into the game.

more later...

Micro-who?
 
Nah I\'m kidding. Actually that\'s a great idea. Finally a reason to fire up my 360 other than to watch ECW DVDs.

- Lumines on Xbox Live Arcade

- Fable 2 Announced with Trailer

- Halo 3 trailer up on Xbox Live

- Splinter Cell: Double Agent out in September

- Alan Wake trailer shown. Out for Vista and 360. (May be exclusive now, not clear yet.)

- Bill Gates is talking right now. Bastard won\'t shut up.

- Live will work with Cell Phones and Computers. Vague details blah blah blah still won\'t shut up.

- HD-DVD peripheral shown. (Meh) Blu-ray > HD-DVD. At least it looks neat.

It ends with this.

12:55: Moore gets on stage and gives recap. Says games will all be playble, then Gates says "Hey Peter, let\'s play these people a snippet of a game they might like to see..." Crowd goes wild, trailer comes up. Halo theme plays, scen of a wartorn wasteland. Long figure can be seen therogh the smoke. Cortana alerts screen. MASTER CHIEF WALKS OUT.

12:59: HOLY CRAP, GIGANTIC Covenat dropship... dozens of them. Sky swarming with banshes over gian crater is actually a giant forerunner gateway--the gateway lights up, screen goes white, HALO 3 LOGO APPEARS.

1:00: Crowd goes ballistic. Lights come up and the conference is over.

I wonder when Grand Theft Auto: PS3 Version Not Called 4 will be released? Actually, it\'ll probably be an upgraded Liberty City Stories, which by and large, no one played in the first place.
 
Pretty cool announcement regarding Lumines. That might make that developer some quick cash.
 
The other games mentioned don\'t do much for me. GTA4 is enticing, but GTA:LCS didn\'t keep my attention for longer than 15 minutes (curse of the portable system?) so I wonder if that series still has legs for me... (Picturing it in my head, though, I\'m leaning toward yes.)

GTA4 exclusive 360 title ,  huh.  Good thing I\'m not a fan of GTA.  But I would have liked to have seen what Rockstar could have done with blu-ray

Funny how people rip Sony for stealing controller ideas but praise Microsoft for buying out titles

Ripping off a consoles notable features versus a company paying for exclusivity. The blow isn\'t as hard because GTA wasn\'t really much of an exclusive game in the first place.

"a company switching exclusivity"

You forgot to mention the exclusivity is for the best selling game for the PS2

Only hardcore care about who stole what controller design.  EVERYONE is going to care that MS bought GTA

How exclusive is it? Whole franchise? Just this specific title? Or a time lapse. Resident Evil was exclusive to GCN for a while, too.

You forgot the GTA: Double Pack and San Andreas are both best selling Xbox games too huh?

Where\'s mm? At least he has more sense than to make a mistake like that.
