Microsoft shows off new games
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
In the five months since Microsoft unveiled a prototype of its new video-game machine, the Xbox 360, the company has tried to generate excitement by staging demonstrations of the console's ability to play music and display digital photographs and by trumpeting its online community features.
There have been snazzy screen shots and impressive trailers. But since the game industry's big trade show in Los Angeles in May, Microsoft has shown almost nothing in terms of actual, playable games. So far, Microsoft has done little to convince hard-core gamers that the 360 will be a must-buy this holiday season.
