I can't be the only one to think all this voice command shit is damn near worthless and stupid.

Search could be pretty useful actually, instead of having to wade through the convoluted layers of menus. If I know what I want I shouldn't have to spend 5 minutes getting to it. Of course, it could take just as long to type it in. :)

It's interesting watching people bitch about features they're adding - that you didn't purchase the 360 for. But there's a lot of people out there who don't own one and sometimes controllers scare them - voice features are kinda handy, because you can't run out of batteries :)

Yeah, I couldn't care less about this UFC junk, move on.

They have to fill a whole presentation, they can't just get up there and spend 5 minutes talking about Halo 4 and then leave, even though it's probably the only thing anyone really wants to see.

Saw the new Tomb Raider trailer this morning, and it looked awesome. But then again, any trailer fully rendered in high quality 3D animation looks great. Surprised it isn't going to be an exclusive.

Why would it be?

Halo 1 remake isn't exactly huge news. Then my craptastic GameSpot stream died entirely, time to try another.

These Kinect controls for games that aren't suited to it are going to get old fast. The spellcasting is interesting though.

really hope that companies do not start to focus on stupid ass kinect integration like a lot of these demos have shown so far.
