Microsoft Presentation E3 2012: Too predictable?

Amazing content, but no surprises?

“The Big M” kicked off their 2012 E3 presentation with an exciting Halo 4 trailer featuring live action and CG footage.

The trailer slipped seamlessly into a real time demo taking place in a dense jungle seen through Master Chief’s HUD.

Also to be seen were the various Halo aliens that I, personally, have zero interest in. However, exciting weapon play and a new, exciting adversary spiced things up.

The Demo ended and the audience lost their shit. Pretty standard E3 fare thus far.

The question is, while this looked amazing, were there any big surprises to come?  As it turns out, no.

But lots more amazing footage, mixed with some that was just a bit underwhelming.

When this time of year comes around, our thoughts begin to condense and our vision begins to narrow: E3 is right around the corner.

If we choose to come out of this daze, we may not enjoy the circumstances in which we may find ourselves, such as an annoyed OXCGN Editor in Chief demanding that I produce an article that isn’t a review.

My thoughts immediately read, “I feel as if I’m trapped inside a journalistic prison.” And then it hit me!

Here are, in no particular order, some of gaming’s best prison levels (also known as “Places I Hope To Never Visit”).

View the best of gaming’s worst…
