Giant Bomb: Live From Los Angeles - Day Zero

We wrap up our first day of press conferences--Microsoft, Electronic Arts, and Ubisoft--LIVE!

Today marked the unofficial start of E3 2010. Sure, the show floor doesn't open until noon tomorrow, but  with Microsoft, Electronic Arts, and Ubisoft holding their big press conferences today, we'll definitely have plenty to talk about on tonight's live show! In addition to all the tiger-pettin', CCR-blarin', Michael-Jackson-ressurectin' conversation, Jeff and Vinny will be fresh from a Kinect hands-on event, while Brad will regale us with tales from tonight's mysterious Activision event at the Staples Center
 
Thanks to all who joined us for the live stream! If you missed it, you can watch the archived Ustream version below, or go check out our audio-only podcast of the whole affair.

Today was just an awful day for video games. So much bad shovelware and non-games. MGS: Rising and AC: Brotherhood were the only good things all day.

I don't think you know what shovelware means, or we've been watching a whole different E3.

Yes, it's not a literal port. Semantics. Congratulations, but these Kinect titles are HD versions of Wii games that have been out for years.

" @Brendan: I'm not disregarding their opinion because I think they were bought.  I'm gonna disregard their opinion because it goes at odds with their opinion of why the Microsoft presser from last year was good.  Feel free to listen last year's day zero bombcast, and you'll hear them praising microsoft for knowing that the people that pay attention to E3 pressers are not the people that care about the exact things they showed this year (aside from the trailers and demos that made up the first 15 minutes.)  If Brad and Ryan were in fact not being sarcastic in that video, then it would be some serious hypocrisy given what they were saying last year. "
Could not agree more. They are xbox fanboys it is so transparent and pathetic. MS can pack turd in plastic and say its amazing and they  would be all over it .

It's hardly semantics when the game shares a similar idea and more importantly has obviously been designed from the ground up to work fully and rather well with Kinect.  You know, the part that kind of completely flies in face of the definition of shovelware. 
 
Good examples of shovelware: the hundreds of cheap budget games that are ported between the Wii, PS2 and PSP. This? Not even close to shovelware.  
 
EDIT: Of course none of this means you have to like what they showed. You're free to dislike it, but it's still not shovelware.

I found out that the best way to listen/watch this thing is to actually download the podcast >> here << and then the video >> here <<.
 
Open up the video in VLC. Then I mute the audio in the video and try syncing the podcast with the video. Works great.

It really felt like a weak showing for Microsoft but then I certainly wouldn't say no to some quad up Gears. The new 360 I'm still unsure about style wise but good that they are releasing it at the same price.
