From Devil May Cry 5 finally emerging from the darkness to a hat trick of Gears of War announcements, Microsoft was throwing punch after punch in their press conference, with knockouts aplenty finding their mark. Did you miss all of that hot action? Well here's a handy round-up for you.

Man…f*** Nazis. Mankind’s cockroach, the so-called “Master Race” got a master arse-kicking last year in Wolfenstein: The New Colossus.
