Microsoft’s E3 2011 press conference will be held at 9AM Pacific Daylight Time on June 6, 2011. For myself and our readers in the Mountain Time Zone, that’s 10AM.

You’ll be able to follow everything going on at the event right here, on this page. Bookmark this one now, because I will be liveblogging the event as it happens.

All times are Mountain.

12:00 And with a quick teaser of Halo 4, this things over. I’m free! I’m free!

11:58 Halo 4 just announced for 360! “Dawn of a new trilogy.” This is it folks.

11:56 Don Mattrick back to wrap up this abomination (I hope).

11:54 This might actually be the most boring conference in E3 history. Of all the live demos so far, this one might have the greatest GIF potential.

11:54 Dance Central 2 announced.

11:52 Now there’s dudes showing Kinect Sports Football. Wow the fake smack talk. Nintendo did this stuff, what, 5 years ago? Microsoft, you’re late.

11:52 Cheers from Kinect Sports make it sound like the actual audience is anything other than dead.

11:50 Oh good, another boring Kinect demo narrated by an awkward actor.

11:49 Kinect Sports Season Two debut.

11:48 Object capture lets you bring objects into games. Let’s see if anyone bothers to implement it. Kinect labs available today.

11:47 Hey, object capture is back. Finally, the promise of two years ago is (maybe) here. Scanning a stuffed animal gives you a stuffed animal in system.

11:45 Kinect lets you move around and put images together with your body. Draw three dimensionally with finger tracking.

11:44 Making an avatar with Kinect. Hey, I already did that with my 3DS. Innovation!

11:35 Jedis don’t have to tell their lightsabers to turn on. I don’t get this. Wave those hands, move that ship! Where is your god now, hardcore XBoxers?

11:35 Hey, this Star Wars game is on rails too! What have you done to gaming, Microsoft?

11:34 This won’t be. Here comes the Kinect Star Wars.

11:33 Disneyland Adventures still might be the most playable Kinect game shown so far.

11:32 More kids. “We’ll get those other coins next time.” “This. is… so… cool.” ACTING!!! “FIST BUMP!” AHHHHHHH

11:18 The bro shooters are plentiful. Shocking. Crytek game.

11:17 Ice-T has a gift for CliffyB who has brought horde mode back. A song? When is this song?

11:15 They think they’re safe. “You know they ain’t.” – Ice-T, conference saver.

11:14 Cliffy brought Ice-T! Yes! Brovolution is nigh. Play that game, Mr. Ice-T.

11:13 CliffyB! CliffyB! Save the show!

11:12 Gears of War 3. Finally, an exclusive! Too bad we’ve already seen this.

11:09 Dana White’s here to talk UFC. Is this seriously all Microsoft has? Show us the Halos please.

11:08 It’s like talking to your dog.

11:07 Live TV coming to the system as well. News, sports, etc.

11:06 Her voice commands don’t seem to by syncing with the video.

11:05 Open Bing with your voice, search with your voice. Ooh ahh.

10:42 Sales talk? Well, it’s better than the MW3 demo.

10:42 Don Mattrick is on! Now it’s serious!

10:41 Call of Duty devs are awkward. Nervous. I think there may be tears.

10:40 Already the most boring conference at E3. 10 minute demo of a game that looks just like its predecessor.

10:38 Time skip on the MW3 demo. Is this gameplay really live?

10:33 Personal subs are all the rage in the modern era of warfare. Oh no! Russians!

10:08 Oh good, GameTrailers has iJustine running their Twitter.

10:06 And here’s Saints Row 3.
