As of this posting, we are moments away before the Microsoft Press Conference begins! Check it out! Remember to check the schedule for all of the press conferences that will be broadcasted live! The Microsoft Press Conference is set to begin at 9:30 AM PT!
Also don't forget to check out ourFacebook and Twitter where we will get up to the minute news and announcements as it happens!
We'll be quick with this as the official press conference is happening in a mere hour, but it looks as though someone put some titulating info up on Xbox.com a bit to early. Users snapped a few pics of the website which featured Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Dance Central 2, and the biggie, Halo 4.
While none of these are really surprising it's still takes some of the wonder out of the Microsoft Press Event. The screen shows off some other probable 360 games like Kinect Sports Season 2 and Kinect Fun Labs. Modern Warfare 3, and Ryse (which we suspect is the final name for Crytek's new game) also show up.
We can't verify if this screen grab is real or not and Microsoft isn't commenting, but we'll know for sure in an hour.
The time has almost come! With E3 2011 kicking off tomorrow morning with Microsoft's press conference - wait a second...do you know when the press conferences even start? From the Big 3?

Konami has a new IP coming in the form of NeverDead, the big draw with this one is... you can't die. Shinta Nojira, the games producer, revealed some details about at the Konami pre-E3 press event. The game started out simple enough with a character who couldn't die and has now evolved into what they have.
The jist of the story is that our main character Bryce was a demon hunter 500 years ago. Back then he challenged the Demon King to a battle which he lost, losing his wife and being forced to live forever. At first the game seems like a standard third-person shooter but we can expect some unique gameplay elements.
"Just having an imortal character was not good enough," says Nojira, "its more about how to use it [imortallity] in order for the player to advance in the game."
Bryce will be able to perform such manuevers as ripping his head off and throwing it at enemies, and other such techniques.
Oh and the teams "favorite band" has written a song exclusively for the game. That band... Megadeth, it just got a lot more metal in here. Check out the trailer below.
With E3 coming in just less than a week, it's usual that some developers and publishers will sometimes reveal some things here and there just before the expo begins. This time around, Volition Inc. and THQ have unveiled the official release date for Saints Row: The Third. That date is November 15, 2011. Along with the release date, a new trailer has been released for the public to see. Even though it's all CG, one could assume that the next installment is going to kick even more ass.
