Microsoft Game StudiosMicrosoft Game StudiosMicrosoft weren€™t messing around this year. While their conference may have been too CG-heavy and not featured enough gameplay, you can€™t fault it for a lack of great announcements.

The 2005 classic was a cult hit when it launched, combining cards, action and strategy in a way that hasn€™t been seen since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HRFbNC6DK8 As is expected from Microsoft€™s conference, all we saw was a CG trailer €“ meaning we have no idea whether the gameplay tropes of the original will remain intact here, or whether it will be a completely new take on the series. Either way, this is one probably nobody saw coming.
