The time is upon us once again, today E3 kicks off with Microsoft's press conference in less than an hour. This year's E3 is supposed to be bigger and badder than the last couple of years, as the ESA tries to recapture some of the show's glory from years past. Over the next few days I'll be bringing you lists of new software announcements, hardware announcements, updated release dates and my thoughts on the press briefings of, at least, the big three. For now, here is a list I'm working on of the games that have been annouced over the weekend and so far today. I'll be updating this as the day goes on and will likely have it posted to the main page after Ubisoft's press briefing this afternoon.

Edit: Updated with announcements from MS Press Briefing.

Woooooooo!
 
mmm...that MSG game was only announced for 360 at press time, did they change their minds?
 
It's coming to PS3, 360, and PC. So you'll be able to play it no matter what.
 
@Link41: It was announced for xbox because their conference was first, they didn't say anything about it being exclusive. Expect to hear about a ps3 version or maybe a real mgs5 starring big boss (i really wish) during sony's conference.
 
@dom meatball:I almost bought a PS3 for Metal Gear Solid 4, if they do another on there I just might pick one up
 
*_* Professor Layton's new game is coming out in August! Oh and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks! Yay!
 
@c5540:rumours continue to swirl about a new Zelda for Wii, after Twilight Princess I hope I can look forward to another game in that style
