Do you think that an entire country between NY and Los Angeles was gonna keep up us from liveblogging? Guess again, check here for today’s announcements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

First things first, though we couldn’t be there live, we’ll be following via live video feeds. Things will be getting started in about ten minutes. For now, we’ve got some music to get us ready for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 01:03pm<\/strong> Chris Ness<\/em>My summary: Some kick ass games, made more kick ass by Kinect Augmentation. Great features coming via Kinect, maybe it won\u2019t just be a goofy gadget anymore. Re-releasing Halo CE? Meh. Gears of War 3, Ghost Recon, MW3? All look fun as hell. Also, there\u2019s a Halo4 Nice. But the biggest thing is the exclusives and first available list that Microsoft has commanded. They\u2019ve bought their way into the best position in every console gamer market, and it looks good too. Let\u2019s not forget the Bing, UFC, YouTube and LiveTV integration. Your Xbox will be the most important thing in your Living room, if Microsoft has their way, and I\u2019m looking forward to it. Thanks for joining us.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that\u2019s a wrap folks. They showed some great games, some awesome new Kinect features, and an exciting future for the living room, but still a somewhat boring Keynote. Hope WWDC is more exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy\u2026 hell. Showing a trailer. Master Chief just woke up\u2026 Halo 4. Holiday 2012. Honestly, I thought I was done with Halo, but once I heard Master Chief\u2019s voice, it sparked me back up. We\u2019ll see if they can sustain my interest till Holiday 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dance Central 2 \u2013 now with multiplayer dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sidebar: i think I\u2019m the only one awake at this point. Oh, and they\u2019re demoing an Usher song you\u2019re probably sick of by now.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:53pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 Kinect Sports is looking kinda corny\u2026 this feels awkward. The Football game is so\u2026 awkward. They were getting too crunk on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:50pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicole Makila comes to the stage to talke about Kinect Sports Two<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:49pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These new Kinect features are awesome. Really excited for the avatar. You can use Kinect to make a digital version of yourself. They\u2019ve shown detailed finger tracking, 3D image edits, scanning objects (yes, you can finally scan your Skateboard and use it). Kinect Fun Labs<\/strong> It goes live today if you have Xbox Live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:49pm<\/strong> Chris Ness<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So your kids Avatar can have their stuffed animal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft has really (like Alberto said) jumped into the kids market, and is ready to be there when they want to play real games too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kinect Lab is available today to all XBL members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:46pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kinect Fun Labs looks pretty slick but seems a bit campy. Then again, Mario Paint actually happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:46pm<\/strong> Chris Ness<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3D drawing, by tracking fingers. <\/em>That\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:41pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sesame Street, Disney all getting in on Kinect? Nintendo has to absolutely own if they\u2019re gonna be able to compete. The XBox is no longer just the realm of the hardcore gamer; they\u2019re eying down Nintendo\u2019s lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:40pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sesame Street on Kinect. Looks so adorable. I know a few kids who would love this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:40pm<\/strong> Chris Ness<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kinect Sesame Street looks cute, like Disney did. Good job getting young kids addicted to gaming, Microsoft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:39pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Star Wars Kinect\u2026 not the best graphics I\u2019ve seen, but it looks fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:38pm<\/strong> Chris Ness<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kinect Star Wars!? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:37pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bet you all feel real silly making fun of Star Wars Kid<\/a> now that the upcoming Star Wars game is Star Wars Kinect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:37pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Star Wars on Kinect? Looks cool, but again, what\u2019s with all the exerize? The guy demoing looks like he\u2019s in shape and he\u2019s breathing hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:34pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those kids were awkward. Kinect Disney actually looks fun, but I gotta tell ya, there would be no more fat children. End of an era I tell ya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:34pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nerdgasm: Star Wars. Not LEGO Star Wars. Star Wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:31pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those kids look like an infomercial. Just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fable is Kinect powered. Cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:29pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minecraft on Xbox 360 and Kinect in the winter. *yawn* Also Kinect Disney. Yay?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:29pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whoa! Kinect and Disney? Yeah, shit just got real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fable\u2019s use of the kinect is impressive. How I would look in my living room doing these motions however, would be the polar opposite of \u2018impressive.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:27pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah yeah, I love Fable, and it looks gorgeous. It really does. But for some reason, I\u2019m not that excited. It looks so amazing though and they are controlling it with Kinect. Will it be Kinect only, or can we use controls? Those magic gestures look tiring. Fable is a looooong game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:26pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fable will be using the kinect. You wanna steer that horse and carriage; you better get used to \u201criding\u201d on the kinect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:25pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fable: The Journey trailer is up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XBox is really pulling out all the stops on their exclusives this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:24pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forza Motorsport 4 is on its way. Another amazing looking game. Damn, imagine if Xbox discs had the same capacity as PS3 discs. These guys are pushing the envelope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:24pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forza 4; I can get with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kanye on the trailer. \u201cPower\u201d seems very appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:21pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, so this isn\u2019t a new Halo game, it\u2019s a remastered version. I\u2019m honestly kind of through with Halo. \u201cHalo: Combat Evolved Anniversary\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:21pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. I\u2019m sure there\u2019s a bunch of you excited about this. (Sorry guys and gals, just not into Halo.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:17pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayhem, destruction, a ridonculously large killing machine. Sounds like a day in the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon 12:16pm<\/strong> Chris Ness<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah! Mech Suit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The set-up: Two years after Gears of War 2; we\u2019re on a ship trying to get away. They think it\u2019s safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
