| Microsoft køber Twisted Pixel | |
|
 Microsoft har i dag udvidet deres liste af eksklusive udviklerhuse, med opkøbet af indie-udviklerne fra Twisted Pixel. Twisted Pixel, som nok er mest kendt for deres kritikerroste arcadetitler Splosion Man og The Gunstringer, er altså nu en fast bestanddel af Microsoft Studios, og det er noget der glæder firmaets vice præsident, Phil Spencer: "Twisted Pixel has an incredible track record of delivering innovative, critically acclaimed, and most importantly, fun, games(...) Microsoft Studios is home to cutting-edge entertainment experiences, and the incredible creativity of the Twisted Pixel team will help drive further innovation around Kinect and Xbox LIVE." Medstifter og executive officer hos Twisted Pixel Michael Wilford, holder heller ikke igen med de positive ord omkring det kommende samarbejde, som, udfra hvad Wilford udtaler, vil have et fokus på Kinect:
"It is really exciting for us to solidify our long-standing relationship with Microsoft Studios, who we consider to be the leader in digital distribution and creating new innovations in gaming like Xbox LIVE and Kinect(...) As part of the family of Microsoft Studios we look forward to bringing even bigger and richer experiences to Xbox and Twisted Pixel fans around the world." |
