If I had to pick one press conference to skip today, it would have to be Ubisoft, they aren’t bad, and had some exciting game announcements, but it was extra long, they are from Montreal, so they all pretty much had a French accent, which was hard to concentrate on for the 2 hours. The beginning was really slow, they talked about a joint effort for video games and movies, it was very difficult for me to understand so I will try to find story about it and link it.
Moving on..
Red Steel 2 - For Wii. Looks like Samurai meets the West.

Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage

Academy of Champions: Football (USA Soccer)
Splinter Cell: Conviction - I missed this during the Microsoft Press Conference, but this game looks awesome.

Ruse - What is it? I am not sure, from the trailer they played, it looks like an RTS, I hope it’s for the PC. I will look up more info because it looks awesome, as a fan of World War 2 RTS games.

Your Shape - For the Wii, Ubisofts next big Fitness game. It features a camera, so no Wii Fit board or controllers, all Mocap (Like Project Natal) I Hope this won’t be as hard to find as the Wii Fit, I do not want to stand in line at Gamestop at 5AM for it after Thanksgiving.
Rabbidy Go Home - Basically Rabbits on drugs, pushing a shopping cart
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Pretty much Super Smash Brothers, with Turtles.
No More Heroes 2: No More Struggle - Just a mention, no trailer given

Assassins Creed 2 - The best announcement from Ubisoft, the trailer they showed was A-MAZ-ING! The visual of it was mind blowing. That’s not a trailer, that’s a movie! <–It really was a trailer but seemed like a movie.
