Wii U had a launch that consumers are still unaware of. Sony had a PS4 reveal that didn’t show the console. All this left Microsoft with a low bar to get over for its May 21 presentation. Somehow they still failed, because of a stubborn refusal to clear up the most persistent questions surrounding the more »

The era of the Xbox One is almost here. For gamers, a new console is like an early Christmas morning. Unless you are getting yours as a Christmas present, then it’s like an actual Christmas morning. Forgive GamerTell, we are understandably giddy right now. We love talking about playing games as much as we do more »

Like many other gamers, I was pretty surprised to hear that Microsoft would be officially revealing the new Xbox just three weeks prior to E3, rather than just waiting for the yearly electronics event.
