So what is everyone expecting?

-I think it's pretty much a given that we'll see big showings from Gears and NG2, possibly playable multiplayer of the former.

-Something from Fable 2

-Banjo Kazooie 3, complete with Newton (for better or for worse)

-Halo Wars

-Alan Wake

-POSSIBLY a snippet about Left 4 Dead

In regards to ACTUAL news, here's what I've found so far:

'Lips' and 'Ninja Blade' also revealed, speculate away!

This article mentions sequels to Viva Pinata and Scene It?, as well as new games called 'Lips' and 'Ninja Blade', which so far don't have a game to go with them.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

It would certainly surprise me if the Newton controller is so early, let alone confirmed. I think its more E3 material if anything.

They would probably tie down release dates for Fable 2, Too Human, Halo Wars, Banjo 3 and also delay Alan Wake for next year.

Also I hope there is news on JRPG stuff - Tales, Infinite and Cry On.

Why do you think they would wait until E3? Because of the bigger audience?

Anyways, I also think they will have a few unexpected aces up their sleeves (a couple of big new exclusives, at least one of which will be unveiled tomorrow).

^^They semi-announced it a while ago: it's a new Perfect Dark, which apparently goes for a more realistic feel than Zero did, and it's a sequel to the N64 game, rather than a prequel. I actually completely forgot about it

Supposedly, it has moral choices and tons of action. I actually wouldn't be too surprised if they announced it tomorrow, seeing as Sony actually has a bigger lineup of announced shooters than Microsoft right now. Either that, or they'll wait until E3.
