While many have Microsoft’s Xbox360
announcement pegged as the greatest of the show, you’d be very
mistaken to think the company’s Xbox showing was lack-lustre.
While any truly amazing first-party products were a bit thin on the
ground, their second and third-party offerings were amongst the top
flight products on display.
Half-Life 2 was displayed in full swing
standing-strong alongside the PC version – a title which many
consider the best game of 2004. Hitman: Blood Money and Star
Wars: Battlefront II expand on their predecessors beyond
comprehension and Evil Dead: Regeneration looks likely to be
the most (and, in most peoples opinion, only) worthwhile
title in the series.
In-house major-player, Halo2, demonstrated the
additional Multiplayer Map Pack to woo all of those XboxLIVE!
fanatics – which Microsoft touted has now reached 2million and Conker:
Live & Reloaded managed to dispel the industry’s
media’s fears that the title would be little more than a
flash-in-the-pan… shame on them for thinking RARE would let
anyone down. We’ve got a whole host of titles played to the
limits for you and every other Xbox game playable at
the show previewed also. If that’s not enough – we had an exclusive
play-test of the Xbox version of Ultimate Spider-Man, a
title which to most was only available in video format.
