Microsoft E3 press badge could tease possible announcements

Those who were fortunate enough to be invited to Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference on June 6^th, also received their press badge that can be personalized with dozens of stickers. Resisting the temptation of slapping those stickers all over the pass is already a challenge in itself, but another challenge is deciding if any of the pictures or words hint at what could be seen during the media briefing. Pictures of Lancers and Energy Swords are obviously referring to Microsoft’s core franchises such as Halo and Gears of War, but what about the less obvious stickers?

GLaDOS refers to the recently released Portal 2, so it somewhat dismisses the idea of any of these foreshadowing E3 announcements. Or, it could hint at some exclusive Portal 2 content for Xbox Live users sometime in the future. One of the more interesting stickers is Lara Croft, which could possibly mean a debut gameplay trailer of the Tomb Raider reboot, revealed by Game Informer a few months ago. Whether they were intended for bringing out the inner child in the briefing attendees, or for hints at what to expect at E3, currently remains unclear. It’s so easy to over analyze E3 related content when it’s just a few weeks away. So, you speculators out there, you think these stickers tell the future?
