Microsoft set the bar pretty high during its conference at E3 today. I have in front of me an extensive list of what the company just announced and it's hard not to get excited about what's has in store: Halo 4, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Gears of War: Judgement, streaming media apps and Xbox SmartGlass, which is a pretty amazing new feature similar to Apple's AirPlay, but better. That's just a fraction of what's coming to the Xbox 360 this year. There's also Nike+ integration, Internet Explorer and so much Kinect support that I can already feel the calories being burned. The Xbox 360 is only going to get bigger.

E3 has started off with a bang. What are you most excited about so far?
