Keeping to traditions set in years past, the first event of this year's E3 Media & Business Summit is the Microsoft Press Conference.

Ignant is there in person, frantically taking notes, but we're awake way past my bedtime, and are warming up the LiveBlogging software so we can bring you the latest news as it happens on the other side of the world.

What do you think we'll see? Early gossip suggests details on Gears of War 2, some information about Halo Wars, and apparently there's a couple of very decent surprises tucked in there, too. Mmm. Come join us!

UgLyPuNk would like me to point out that Resident Evil 5 includes a chainsaw.

At least someone is on the ball on important issues at 3am

4:04am: "Pretend you are surrounded by hornets! Swat those suckers!" ...so you're standing in front of your tv, miming that you're swatting away a bunch of bugs - and, on the screen, a little character with your face is doing exactly what you do.

That reminds me of the eye toy to be honest.

To another point, I found myself perpetually amazed at all the rip-offs disguised as innovations in Microsoft's presentation. Avatars have been around forever, of course, but there's little point in denying that the Xbox Mii-60s are inspired directly by Nintendo's own. And what about Lips? SingStar, anyone? And what of the EyeToy-like You're in the Movies? If Microsoft thinks any of these titles will do well on its system, great. The more titles the merrier, I suppose. But these are hardly pioneering undertakings.

No-one seems to be overally impressed =D Bl Microsoft try again.
