Media alerts are doing the rounds right now stating that Microsoft has decided to resurrect its thought-to-be-defunct Xbox 360-focused expo. The last expo was X06, which took place in sunny Barcelona, Spain in September 2006. X10, as it's inventively being called, will take place in San Francisco, which is generally considered to be the U.S. hub of the videogame media industry.

The SeattlePI blogged the following:

It ain't CES or PDC or MIX – X10 will run just four hours long on a Thursday afternoon, Feb. 11. It's at the Terra event center in San Francisco.

Some notable games on tap: "Alan Wake," "Crackdown 2," "Fable III," "Halo: Reach," "Splinter Cell Conviction," "Final Fantasy XIII" and more.

As stated, the industry event will only run for four hours -- surely a sign that the economic downturn is still a prime factor for events such as these. GameSpy will be there, and in turn, so will you.



Bryn says: Keeping it lean is wise. Flying media halfway across the globe to check out a couple of videogames can get expensive. So I guess the big push for MS will be Project Natal. Personally, I'm much more excited to get new information, media and movies for Crackdown 2 and Halo: Reach. Maybe we'll even get a surprise or two...
