As if it isn’t enough already that I’m going to have no internet on Wednesday, my ISP decides to go all boner and takes me offline to continue their migration to new systems this morning.  It seems like they want to keep me as far away from this year’s E3 as possible.

Assuming that they were being complete boneheads though and thinking that I was offline for the next 3 or so days, I never thought about checking back, because if I did I wouldn’t have missed Microsoft’s press conference.  I’ll probably watch the archive of it later tonight, but I swear, THIS BETTER NOT HAPPEN WITH NINTENDO’S CONFERENCE TOMORROW.

Judging from Gamespot’s E3 site and what our friends over at GamingUnion have posted up from Los Angeles so far, here’s what I seem to have missed from my ISP’s misadventures this morning:

  • Kojima’s eternal teaser finally ends: Metal Gear Solid Rising announced for the 360
  • Halo Reach announced. You really didn’t think they’d let the series drop after 3 did you?
  • Left 4 Dead 2 coming on November 17th for the 360 and PC
  • Final Fantasy XIII slated for spring 2010
  • Forza Motorsport 3 coming in October
  • Rock Band: Beatles
  • Alan Wake
  • Tony Hawk Ride
  • Supposedly a montion-sensing camera accessory was also announced.

Looks like Microsoft had a pretty solid showing. Too bad my ISP’s a bitch.  Nintendo and Sony step up to the plate tomorrow, and hopefully I’ll be online to see it.
