Quick refreshing of Microsoft’s E3 landing page has apparently revealed some of the things it will be announcing within the hour at its E3 press conference, including new features for Xbox Live like Voice Search and new look for the service. With the explosive popularity of the Kinect add-on, it looks like the system is being refashioned with support built in from the ground up as opposed to the current menu system that’s more of an afterthought. Also mentioned on the page are Dance Central 2, Kinect Sports Season 2 and most importantly, two new Halo games. One is Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary which appears to be the remake leaked by Joystiq previously, and of course, Halo 4. The press conference is scheduled to kick off at 11:30 a.m. Eastern and of course we’ll be covering all of the news live right here.
