E3: Fist Day; Microsoft.

I just finished watching the first segment of E3. It lasted almost two hours, and it was worth it. I wish it could be longer, but then again the level of awesomeness dropped, or waned as the minutes added up. I was exited to see a few of the familiar titles. I was really exited to see and hear Harmonix: The Beatles. It looks like it's going to be great. The guest appearances were cool, I guess; George's son and his wife, John's wife, and of course the two remaining Beatles: Paul and Ringo. The game looks great, especially the opening sequence ( I thought it was amazing, really.) I'm delighted to see that it's not only songs off the Beatles "1" record, but other classics like "Here Comes the Sun" and "I am the Walrus".
I enjoyed the Final Fantasy bit, finally...last year they kept it a secret like it was the damn Manhattan project. I never really enjoyed the F.F games just because they're too slow, for my liking. But I want to give this one a try. I liked the massive mecha they were fighting, along with the summoned Odin.
The Halo games looked great, like the previous three. I'm going to miss Master Chief, but it's a change that needed to come. It looks like this new Halo game will be more difficult, I'm guessing though, since you aren't wearing the great M.C suit. And the preview for the other Halo, Halo: Reach, looks totally amazing!! Even though these aren't really new games they still look top-notch-good going Bungie. Halo ODST, the other title, is the one that will come out first, so I'm definitely waiting for that to happen.
There were a few more titles, too. Modern Warfare 2 looked "epic". That snow scene was great, although I was a little worried that it was somewhat boring, but then it picked up and it was...a must get. Alan Wake (I think that was the name) had a different look, it really felt like reading a horror story, and I'm sure that's what the creators were going for. And it looked original and scary.
Finally, the big surprise, to me, was the first look at the no-controller games. X-Box Natal. You don't need a controller, just your body-the best controller out there. While the basic look of this new-revolutionary(?)-way of playing seemed odd, I liked it. I liked the fact that you can use your entire body to play. The pain thing is useless, but stuff like this needs useless things just to add to it. I was convinced, X-Box Natal is excellent and it left me in a curious state, hoping to test it out soon. The only bad side to "Natal", which is really a bad side, is that the only playable games (that were shown) were lame. The generic racing game or the generic soccer game doesn't make it anymore inspiring. Natal is a good concept, but come on! Can we play Halo or Gears of War in it? Or are we gonna be stuck talking to Milo all day long?
Microsoft made a giant mark, and I can't wait to test all these new goodies. It's going to be hard for Sony and Nintendo to top it.
