E3: Recap of the Microsoft press conference

Recommended Videos

The Microsoft press conference was a decent showing. There may not have been any crazy new announcements, but the conference itself was entertaining and well-paced. A solid, if not spectacular, briefing.

Also, I may have kind of liked Usher. Maybe. I mean, I didn’t hate him. Maybe … okay, I am not sure how I felt about Usher. But he was dancing! I can confirm that!
