Huge Microsoft Announcement...possible FREE Halo 3....more like Huge Microsoft hype for nothing!

Hey.

Ok, so yesterday GamerTagRadio post this, saying that Microsoft were making a huge announcement that "will go down in video-game history". Of course EVERYONE who's anyone is excited about this and anticipates 24-hours later...then this arrives! =( I mean, come on! An Xbox Live Arcade release of new levels in a 'new' pac-man is hardly "video-game history"...my friend created some new pac-man levels as a demo game for a university project! Seriously...don't EVER hype me up like that again! I was expecting Halo 3 to be free or something, lol! Ok, not quite THAT big (though it would be freakin' awesome!!!) But at least a video of new motion-sensing controllers for the 360 or something. Now, don't get me wrong here...I don't particularly want to see the 360 steal the innovation of the Wii and try to make money, but there are rumours going around. In my opinion, you want awesome gaming...360, you want motion-sensing innovation and a little gaming...Wii, you want poor use of motion-sensing and mediocre gaming...PS3! I don't joke either...I will consider a PS3 for one thing only...MGS4...and thanks to relativly fresh rumours, I won't need a PS3 for that! =)

So, in conclusion, Microsoft claim 'HUGE' announcement, turns out it's Pac-Man re-vamped, everybody's let down, PS3 sucks...oh wait, that's not new news, lol! =)

Till next 'huge' announcement...well, until next time I feel like it really,

I think the announcement was the release of pac man world championship on the arcade. Typical Microsoft releasing a game that's already out on the Arcade albeit an updated one.

Badboy, did you actually read the post? lol! ;)

So I didn't call it by it's full name, but in my opinion it doesn't deserve it! As you said, typical Microsoft. They do have a lot of strong points, and I really admire (not sure that's the right word!) Microsoft as a company...but to do this is just wrong! Hardly the 'earth-shattering', 'video-game history changing' announcement they claimed in anybody's book!

Oh well, I hope they got the point, as there's a pretty mutual widespread feeling on the net about this, and maybe next time they announce something they'll make up for it!

*fingers crossed*

At least the feeling was mutual with it...though I think it goes much, much further than just me and you, lol!

I think everyone was disappointed! =(
