Apparently, this is supposed to be the new E3, which I hope it lives up to. Can't wait to see if they say anything on the Keep it Clean project (I have my doubts).

Discuss.

Is this going to be broadcasted live anywhere? I'd love to see it.

Thats what the link is for. Im guessing it will be broadcasted on that site live.

I think they're just going to be updating the blog entry "live" as news is broken, but it's nothing like actually seeing it.

Sorry Jcap, I don't think you'll be seeing a live feed, but I did find this (Related to Bungie):

So, this is basically where Microsoft makes a bunch of announcements and stuff? Like a Microsoft-only E3?

Sounds good to me.

No.

TGS stands for "Tokyo Game Show". Microsoft is holding a press conference at this event, similar to E3. Namco has already held their press conference, and Sony stated they will not be at this years show. Basically, TGS is what E3 used to be when it was open to the public.

It's pretty much a trade show catered specifically to the Nippon consumers. The press conference is pretty much the keynote.

[Hotrod]

Oh, ok. I guess I was misinformed.

[Heathen]

So how many of you haven't heard of TGS? By the sounds of it, quite a few.

HALO 3: RECON. :D

* All-new campaign content: The Halo 3: Recon campaign is an intriguing side story that takes place during the terrifying events leading up to the Master Chief’s return to New Mombasa in Halo 3. Experience the fate of Earth from the brand-new perspective of a special forces ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), adding a unique outlook and new gameplay elements to the events that unfold in the trilogy’s finale. While the feel of this new chapter greatly resembles that of previous Halo experiences, Halo 3: Recon will require you to employ more elements of stealth and cunning than ever before.
* Prepare to drop: Known for their courage, valor and, at times, insanity, ODSTs are among the fiercest UNSC soldiers, priding themselves on being the first unit deployed into hostile situations. While not as large or supernaturally gifted as their Spartan comrades, these "Hell Jumpers" more than compensate with their ferocious attitudes and unwavering nerve.
* Expanded multiplayer collection:No Halo experience would be complete without groundbreaking multiplayer content, and Halo 3: Recon gives fans more of what they love. With exclusive new maps and expanded Forge options, Xbox LIVE® Gold members will find more multiplayer content than ever before with Halo 3: Recon.
* Ever-growing community options: Enjoy all the great Halo 3 technological innovations, including Saved Films, screenshots, Campaign Scoring, and four-player co-op. All of the new multiplayer maps fully support the Forge editor, offering endless gameplay customization possibilities.
