E3, the world's biggest games expo, is over for another year. Although the show itself was downsized, the media conferences from all the big publishers were as big and brash as ever. This is what Microsoft has planned for the next six months or so, as they try to embrace not just their hardcore shooter fans but also casual gamers...
Most of the controversy at E3 was centred around Microsoft, not least the last-minute cancellation of an announcement for a new Halo game from developer Bungie. As such, the only Halo game that was on show was real-time strategy Halo Wars from Age of Empires-makers Ensemble Studios.
