Hasta La Gadget!

Video gaming’s biggest annual event, the E3 Expo 2010, is hitting Los Angeles next week, and PCMag will be there. Join us on Monday, June 14, at 1 PM Pacific, 10 AM Eastern 10 AM Pacific, 1 PM Eastern (corrected) for PCMag Editor-in-Chief Lance Ulanoff’s live blog of the Microsoft press conference.

So what can we expect? Project Natal (or whatever its real name will be), Microsoft’s entry into the you-are-the-controller gaming space, should be the star of this show. No doubt we’ll get updates on Gears of War, Fable III, and Halo: Reach. And rumors are flying that we might see a new, slimmer version of the Xbox itself. (Check E3 2010’s Top Ten Rumors and E3 2010: The Most Anticipated Games for more previews and speculation.)

Overall, Microsoft really needs to pull out all the stops to catch up with its rivals–and to distract us from the vacuum left by the recent departure of Robbie Bach and J Allard. It should be quite a show! See you then.
