I am very glad the supreme court did not rule against the creativity and entertainment of video games. The court expressed that this kind of creativity is part of the free speech, protected by the first amendment.

Below is my personal opinion of Microsoft’s E3 conference held on 6th June 2011.
In general I was disappointed. They showed only very few really interesting games. The rest was unnecessary, uninteresting or plain crap. This year they really had no big buzz. The presentation felt lacklustre. A few words on each game they showed below.
