So I have to say Geoff is ruthless when it comes to those interviews he really get deep in some questions that I feel those developers or the big guys like Jack Tretton and Reggie are like fuck! But I have to say they take it very well and just move on.
E3 2011

The 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California on June 7-9.
Geoff Keighley Interviews
Sometimes he plays an interesting game of hardball, other times he crosses the line into douchebag territory.
Even though he does try and go deep and get things out of them that they wouldn't have said otherwise, he comes off as a bit of a dick head.
First time I've really watched Geoff and I thought he came across really well. No industry bullshit. Knows what his audience wants. Was sticking it to Mattrick. Also, trying to catch Cliffy B out on a GoW multiplatform hint.

Which was stupid because I'm sure Young Clifford was referring to the PC version of Gears.
Sometimes he'll say something or ask a question that doesn't make a whole lot of sense but that's usually pretty rare I think. Overall I just have to thank Geoff Keighley and all of GameTrailers for the E3 coverage and the exclusive demos in between press conferences/media briefings. It was pretty awesome.
I learned from Geoff speaking to Reggie that the Wii U would not use Blu-ray but a proprietary system similar in capacity. So, that was more than I gleamed from the conference itself.
I like that he asks "tough" questions but the guy really annoys me. Something about him is so unlikable, he is just so phony.
I liked his Reggie interview. But his critical approach is very selective. But still a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of Gametrailers 'EVERYTHING IS SUPER, KINECT WOOOOW SO FUN' attitude.
I like that he asks "tough" questions but the guy really annoys me. Something about him is so unlikable, he is just so phony.I think he comes across as genuine as he can possibly be given the nature of the role he inhabits. GB Jeff has said that Keighley's completely straight-up and knows his stuff on numerous occasions.
I find it wierd that people are complaining that he not likeable or a douche or whatever... A good interviewer's intention shouldn't be to be likeable, they should aspire to ask good questions and get the best interview possible - I think Geoff succeeds in that.
