Microsoft Game Studios is planning (game) world domination slowly, but surely. After purchasing Bungie Studios (Halo and Halo2), Rare (Perfect Dark Zero) and Ensemble Studios (Age of Empires et all), they have now taken over the brainchild of Peter Molyneux, Lionhead Studios. In case you aren’t familiar with Lionhead, they are the people behind the God sim Black and White and the RPG that did extremely well on the Xbox, Fable. After this deal, Lionhead can only make titles exclusively for the PC and the Xbox 360. Lionhead hasn’t revealed any sort of information on their upcoming title, but if rumors (and logic) are to be believed, it’ll probably be Fable 2 for the PC and Xbox 360.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
