I just wanted to comment on the video I've seen off Xbox Live (the Bringing it Home thing is nice to get high quality trailers).
- The Xbox Live Arcade trailer is worth watching. Marathon 2 is no more a pixelated shooter. It's much smoother and detailed. It might be better than Aleph One for comparison. I hope they bring the other Marathons to Live. I was too young to be competent enough to play them.
- The Crash Bandicoot trailer was amusing, but we'll see how the actual gameplay is.
- Guitar Hero III was flashy, but we'll see how that one actually plays, too.
- Bomberman Live HD looks like fun and can't come quicker.
- Viva Pinata Party Animal is just a bunch of mini games. Might be a skip for me. Wish they released a sequel or expansion.
- Beautiful Katamari looks beautiful. Would be my first Katamari game, so I'm waiting for that one.
- Assassin's Creed trailer was an old one. Boo.
- CoD 4 looked hot. I just hope the game doesn't end up being like the older CoD's where it's over the top action and just tons and tons of spawns. Seems overly dramatic. I'm hoping for something more like BF2 or GRAW or any other decent modern shooter.
- Civilization Revolution showed no gameplay. Skip the trailer.
- Halo: Arms Race is a stupid video. It's more or less a bumper video for the keynote last night. Just kind of there to get the crowd going. Not really game-related at all.
- Halo 3 seemed interesting, but I'm worried about the 3rd person mini-gunning stuff. Seems odd. Looks like the Arbiter is just an AI-buddy now. I was hoping to see more Spartans besides Chief. The graphics are definitely better than Halo 2, so quit your complaining.
