Microsoft to make “spectacular, desperate” play in E3 press conference
Following talk that Microsoft is to announce two new major games in its E3 press conference, videogaming247 has learnt from trusted sources that the announcements are to be “interesting, partly spectacular and a bit desperate.”
The insider added: “Let’s put it this way: they’re worried the current line-up can’t carry Q4 for the entire Xbox brand in the core market. You’ll laugh when you see what they’re planning.”
Microsoft confirmed its E3 roster last night, listing Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Halo Wars, Too Human and Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise as its first-party offering for the Holiday season.
The firm’s E3 conference will take place on July 14 at 10.30am PST.
Consider our interest piqued.

Not serious?
Blimey, you want to tell that to those poor victims who had their BC stolen from them. They way they write it seems like they’ve been through some terrible trauma and are scarred for life.
I hope they don’t hear you making fun of their plight. You’ll be in trouble.

Anyway, you have to learn Shatner, that when I post on here it’s very different to me writing a news item. When I post as ‘morriss’ it’s for fun, a bit of light-hearted mickey-taking etc.
When I write something, I try to be as professional as possible.
Of you see any Kotaku-trolling creeping in to my news stories then please say so.
I find it strange that you confuse what I post under an alias on this board with “the site” itself and the image it wants to project.
As far as anyone should be concerned, I’m just a nobody posting on the internet. Like you.

You gotta be more subtle than that morriss. That was terrible. It didn’t help that I had to get back to work. Do they not know I have important forums on which to vent my spleen!
