As expected, Spike TV will broadcast Microsoft’s 90-minute Xbox: Entertainment Evolved briefing at E3 2012. This event is scheduled for Monday, June 4 at 9:30am Pacific, so set your alarm. Additionally, viewers will be able to catch the stream live on Xbox Live. Somehow,that’s a first. Better late than never, I suppose.

What will Microsoft showcase during those 90 minutes? I’m foolishly still holding out for software that both smartly leverages Kinect and is enjoyable to play in the context of all games — not just motion-controlled games — even if that means having the player use a standard controllerin conjunctionwith the device.
