You would think that Microsoft owning the XBOX means some killer games for Windows Phone 7. If anything is going to resonate with the consumer market, it would be solid games. I am happy to see that we are all thinking on the same level.
Some nice research on bnet.com shows that Microsoft has a job posting out for a new Service Software Development Engineer. This position will be a lead for the MGS Mobile Gamin.
Microsoft Games Studios is establishing a new Studio – MGS Mobile Gaming – focused on bringing games and entertainment to the mobile life that people lead. Our vision is to deliver games and entertainment so good that people will want them always with them, on a service that makes them social, connected and relevant anywhere their life goes. The Mobile Gaming team is building industry leading products that showcase our Windows Phone platform as well as emerging mobile platforms, and will help realize Microsoft’s connected entertainment vision. The Mobile Gaming studio will be the hub for MGS franchises and titles on mobile devices and a center of excellence for mobile games.
Can you believe it? A shiny new gaming studio for us Windows Phone users. I love XBOX live, so it is good news to me seeing Microsoft put some weight behind the games. Hopefully that will get other game studios to act in kind. Can you imagine games like Grand Theft Auto on your phone?
