Halo, one of the biggest game series of all time, may get some limelight at their year’s E3, next week in LA. IGN reports that a 2 minute clip of the much anticipated Halo 3 for Xbox 360 will be shown on May 9. You won’t have to be in LA to see it, Microsoft recently announced that its key E3 content (trailers, demos, etc) will be available to Xbox 360 owners via Xbox Live’s Marketplace. However it is still about year before fans will get to play Chief again and kick Alien butt.

Diehard Halo fans shouldn’t be too surprised. Bungie is notorious for taking its time, and the game is not likely to come out until 2007. Microsoft’s most valuable franchise has been out of the limelight since last year’s Map Pack, a set of additional multiplayer maps for 2004’s Halo 2.

Little is known about Halo 3 at the moment. The game hasn’t been seen in action, and no release date has been announced – although Bill Gates has hinted that it might arrive about the same time as Sony’s PS3 (hows that for timing). It was also reported last year the third installment of Halo series will have a different name.
