E3 2012: Microsoft Press Conference Positives and Negatives

Hardcore gaming fans, Microsoft has NOT forgotten about you. After watching the 2012 E3 keynote press conference on Xbox Live it looks like they listened to their customer base and delivered the goods. Games, games, and more games.

It’s a week filled with big announcements, parties, and tons of games to play.  Back in 2009, I attended the E3 Expo and had one heck of a good time as I got the opportunity to meet and play some games with some of the big names of the industry. I also remember consuming a ton of alcoholic beverages as well. Still it was a great time that I hope to do again in the future.

However, for the rest of you still on the shelf deciding whether to make the purchase of Microsoft’s add-on, well The Gunstringer will make that decision easy for you because this is the wildest game in the Old West, and it’s a hell of a lot of fun to boot!

A game featuring a chaotic off the wall character who splodes everywhere causing destruction, humor, and a surplus of meat from dead scientists. ‘Splosion Man was platforming excellence that made me reminisce about games like Super Mario Bros. and Sonic The Hedgehog. Now in 2011, Twisted Pixel brings us a sequel to the sploding XBLA hit. Here comes Ms. ‘Splosion Man!
