The only thing that had any real substance in the event was the career talk, but even that was diminished due to poor acoustics, lighting and people playing Halo ODST just behind. All in all, I cannot think of any reason to return. Game previews etc can be found easily online, and the new games will eventually be released - maybe a little censored, but released none the less. Got a nice poster though. Also, wtf is up with Avatar? Anthropomorphic aliens that can polymorph humans? It's not possible, alien life forms will NOT have DNA and therefore cannot transmute the human genome with the aliens'. Further, the game looks and feels like a convergence of Gears, Halo and Metal Gear - even the landscape in the demo appears inauthentic. WHY IS THERE A LUSH JUNGLE WITH EARTH'S FAUNA IN AN ALIEN WORLD??? It doesn't make sense! What happened to creativity and experimentalism? Remember how weird Xen looked like in Half-life? That's a sensible depiction of an alien world - not one that looked like the lead designer said "We want this level to feel like Predator the movie, so go add lots of foliage".
