Microsoft announced a release date for the New Xbox Experience dashboard update, unveiled Halo 3 Recon and announced that Tekken 6 would be released on Xbox 360 during John Schappert's busy old Tokyo Game Show keynote earlier.

Microsoft had us up early today for a keynote address at the Tokyo Game Show that actually lived up to its billing. Showing Japan as much respect as possible, as ever, the platform holder made the significant announcements of New Xbox Experience's release date and Halo 3 Recon, an expandalone for Xbox 360 that tells a side story.

It's a strange experience, being applauded for the simplest gaming feats. We're here at the Sony booth at Tokyo Game Show - "booth" being an entirely inappropriate word for this magnificent modernist palace of acute angles and pastel lighting, and an entirely appropriate one for the small glassed-off enclosure where we're playing LocoRoco 2. We share the space with a willowy girl in a white uniform and hat that makes her look like a 1950s comic artist's idea of a spaceplane hostess. She natters away in Japanese and hops up and down and claps softly when we do anything right. Anything at all. Managing one jump merits an excited squeal and a standing ovation.

EA has told Eurogamer that Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 will be arriving first for PC on 31st October and then for Xbox 360 on 14th November.
