As many hardcore gamers will be aware E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo), the annual video game conference and show at the Los Angeles Convention center is being held this week.

E3 was kicked off earlier this morning with the Microsoft Press Conference. The press conference began with a live action short for Halo 4. They unveiled the brand new Splinter Cell game, and gave us a sneak peek at a new Gears of War game and a number of upcoming titles including FIFA 13, Fable: The Journey, Forza Horizon, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and more.

Got a spare hour or two? You can check out the full press conference below (note: the real action begins about five minutes into the video).
