No game rocked the Microsoft E3 press conference like Scene It? That's not a question (I know it rocked the press conference, I was there!), but the pop culture board-game-turned-Xbox-360-megaton ends with a question mark. It should end with an exclamation, to emphasize that this is one of Microsoft's big guns -- at least in it's ever-growing "social gaming" category. I'll admit, no game surprised me more than Scene It? Again, not a question, I know it surprised me! The four color-coded controllers, which would seem to be a gimmick, are comfortable to hold. And it actually makes it feel a bit like you're on a game show. Sure, it's easy to joke about a game that requires you to push the shiny red button, but it does act as a quiz show buzzer.
