X360 - Microsoft's Evil Trojan

The company everyone loves to hate. Doesn't matter what good they do for the industry, because everything they do is evil. We all eagerly await the destruction of Microsoft by the likes of Google, Apple, Sony, and anyone else who can tear the company limb from limb.

To be honest, I didn't expect much from Microsoft at E3.

The system already launched last year, and the release of new hardware is always far more exciting than a list of games.

But Microsoft surprised everyone, it of course didn't hurt Microsoft that people were still reeling from Sony's conference.

It's a pretty even toss up between Nintendo and Microsoft as far as "victor" of the show is concerned.

The biggest surprise?

Live Anywhere

It seems Microsoft is wisening up to the PC platform and is "consoleizing" it. I'm sure some people won't be happy with this, likely out of hate and disgust for MS, but the fact is, it's a good thing.

"Games for Windows" is the new logo.

These games will connect to Live, games will play across X360 and Vista. Games won't install on vista, they will run directly from disc. You will be able to make mods under vista and upload to your X360. The connectivity between X360 and Vista is extreme.

Of course, then there were the games, the HD-DVD player, a whole slew of wireless peripherals, and:



















In all it's real-time glory.
