But it is also not unheard of for Microsoft to pull a real surprise out of nowhere during their press conference (they did so last year with the new Xbox 360 redesign ), so don't be shocked if it happens once again. While we have taken a few stabs at what that big surprise might be, we’ll know for sure on June
Ever since Bungie stepped away from the Halo franchise and passed the reins over to 343 Industries, gamers have been dying to see just what the developer has been working on.

E3 2011 is only one week away and fans are no doubt clambering for details on what to expect from their favorite developers and console manufacturers. We’ll be bringing our readers live coverage of all the high-profile E3 events and closed-door meetings — but, in the mean time, we thought we’d take a moment to summarize what we’re expecting to see at the upcoming keynote addresses — this time for Microso
While many gamers have the press conferences for both Sony and Nintendo pretty well figured out, the big question mark in the room is the Microsoft conference. There are a few titles that most expect to see from the company, but there is a lot of mystery in the air, and a hope that some really huge surprises are lying in w
E3 2017 is now in the books, and like usual, it was a huge show featuring a wide variety of games. Some of the industry's biggest upcoming games were on display at E3, like God of War , Star Wars Battlefront 2 , Super Mario Odyssey , and more. All things considered, there was a little something for everyone at E3 2017, but even so, there were some Adventure Games Weapons we were hoping to see at the show that didn't appear for one reason or anot
And really, Peter Molyneux, for all his broken promises and enormous aspirations, is an innovator. He’s proven his enchantment with taking well-tread ideas and making them into something unexpected. Populous remains one of the most important games of all time, and that couldn’t have happened without some desire to step beyond the established setting.

Quite frankly, I think that’s unfair to say. Some companies are perfectly content with what they’re doing in gaming, but Molyneux has proven time and again that he’s never satisfied with his creations. He’s always reaching further, even if his eagerness to progress has made him despise the past and ignore the present in awkwardly narrow-sighted ways.
As of right now the only titles we have pegged to make an appearance during Microsoft’s press conference — as opposed to appearing on the show floor — are Gears of War 3 , Forza 4 , and a new Star Wars title developed specifically for Kinect. Aside from that the console exclusives are all left to speculation, but there are a few top tier titles that we most definitely would like to see app
Whether you like him or not, Peter Molyneux is a man that’s in a perpetual state of dissatisfaction with the status quo of the industry, and that’s really what makes his career so incredibly fascinating.
Getting to see just how Modern Warfare 3 plans to set itself apart from Battlefield 3 , and how Call of Duty Elite — the newly announced subscription-based stat service — will work are high on our priority list. Also, getting a chance to see some of the game’s exciting set pieces would be a perfect way to showcase that this iteration is more intense than those that preceded
