HALO 4.

Today kicks off the start of the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo, otherwise known to geeks worldwide as "E3." Microsoft had their annual press conference this morning at 9:30AM PST. Microsoft showed off more Kinect integration to their format and games, more media outlets on the XBOX Live subscription, and showed off demos of a few of the biggest cross-platform games like Mass Effect 3 and Batman: Arkham City. However, the biggest news is that there is a possible new Halo trilogy with the release of the Halo 4 teaser trailer at the end of the conference.

The trailer shows where Halo 3 left off with overall badass Master Chief and cyber hottie Cortana escaping their ship and facing a bigger one, possibly being the Covenant mothership. Since Halo 3, there have been games that explored the Halo universe such as a RTS game like Halo Wars, and spin-off shooters like Halo: ODST and Halo: REACH. Halo 4 won't be handled by popular developers Bungie but will be under Microsoft's 343 Studio.

And if you didn't know already, Halo is one of the biggest first-person shooters not named Call of Duty. Unapproved by girlfriends, bonding time with the bros. Halo 4 is slated for a 2012 holiday release.

Lucky for us males, the imminent release of Modern Warfare 3 and Uncharted 3 in November is enough to keep us satiated for quite some time.
