Microsoft stole the show at E3 2009 with its new motion controller, codenamed Project Natal.

Microsoft E3 2007 Press Conference Recap
With a new, smaller, faster (better?) E3 this year, Microsoft decided to do things a little differently for their press conference. Rather than tantalize gamers with new stuff that is years away, they instead showed games that are actually going to come out this year. A novel concept, I know. It didn’t lead to any real surprises, since we knew most of this stuff already, but you can’t deny that the Holiday 2007 Xbox 360 lineup is looking extremely good.

Viva Piñata: An Amazing Game Doomed By Bad Marketing
Viva Piñata is an absolutely amazing game that stands among my favorite titles on the Xbox 360, but it was seemingly lost in the shuffle during the holiday season. It isn’t really surprising that a niche title like this was overwhelmed by the likes of Gears of War, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Tony Hawk’s Project 8, Need for Speed Carbon, and all of the rest, but I can guarantee you that it would have sold better if Microsoft hadn’t botched the marketing. We break it down right here.
