Update: So, uh ... yeah. Halo Wars is actually on the E3 list. Honestly, we can't read, we didn't think it was part of the blogging gig. Anyway, our apologies as we say bring on the Halo Wars!As E3 gets closer and closer, the video game industry as a whole are dotting their "i"s and crossing their "t"s for the craziness that'll go down next month. And Microsoft, being the organized folks that they are, just released a confirmed list of games that'll be making an appearance in Los Angeles on July 14th. A list that isn't all that unexpected.
It should be no surprise that Microsoft's confirmed list of E3 video game attendees will be hot 2008 releases including Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Too Human, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise. See, nothing crazy different then what we already expected. But noticeably absent from their list are games like
Also, one thing we can count on at this year's E3 will be at least one super duper surprise. Whether it be a new game announcement, new hardware, new peripherals or some unthinkably awesome tidbit of info, we're uber excited. E3 is coming ... get happy!

You got it! Waning, antonym to waxing. I'm not sure "waining" even exists. Wain is getting pretty archaic for a cart or wagon (as in the profession wainwright), but I don't think it was ever used as a verb.

That's a pretty pathetic list, I mean Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise is just a minor remake of a game not even two years old. GOW2 will be more of the same; it looks like Rare managed to seriously mess up Banjo and we pretty much know everything there is to know about Too Human already.

Microsoft more or less did the same thing last year. They used E3 as a showcase to recap their gameplan that they revealed at various events in the past. It's all well-and-good, because it's still a solid gameplan, but there aren't any showstoppers.

8bitjoystick had a good list of guesses of what would be revealed. Maybe the motion controller, or even a price drop might be in store.

I feel I must remind everyone that this is how MS does things. They don't announce shit until after everyone already has heard about it. They did this last year and they'll do it this year.

Seems like a pretty solid line up to me. I want to play every single one of those games.
A nice surprise announcement would be nice. Something to get excited about.
