	Hey everyone, While the show floor isn’t open yet, E3 has officially kicked off with a bang. Microsoft unveiled Kinect (formerly known as Project Natal) AND a new, slimmer console that will be available immediately for the same price as current systems. My favorite Kinect game so far is Kinectimals – a game where you play with baby animals – and it looks adorable. Sports fans will be happy to hear that Xbox LIVE and ESPN have partnered as well and will be free for Gold members. Of course, a bunch more was revealed at EA & Ubisoft’s press conferences, so be sure to check out our E3 hub page.
