Microsoft is working on a new game in a “large franchise” for use with Project Natal. Spotted by CVG, the project was revealed via an online job ad for a Level Designer position. The successful candidate will work at Microsoft’s own Redmond Campus in Washington.
The job specs are pretty vague, so we’ll let you lot speculate over what first-party franchise they are talking about. Here’s what the ad says: “MGS is looking for a talented, motivated and experienced Sr. Level Designer who can create innovative game-play solutions for a large franchise.
“The Sr. Level Designer is expected to implement major gameplay features to high quality, focusing on creating and implementing level designs. Qualified individuals are expected to be organized, with excellent communication skills, both verbally and written, and have a proven track record in AAA game design.
“Must have a clear understanding and experience creating mission/environment design, look and feel, AI, combat, strategy, game-flow, and balance. We want somebody who can put forth ideas without fear, and build off other people’s zany creations.
“Candidates who find fault with other people’s brainstorms to prove how smart they are need not apply. Candidates must have passion for a broad range of game experiences, and be well versed in market trends and styles. While years of experience are a definite plus, positive creative energy and a wealth of genius ideas is a must. This is a rare opportunity to join a seasoned, creatively driven team on an exciting next-generation project.”
Go on then. What do you think?

Taking the fact that the iPad has Bluetooth, there is no reason a individual couldn’t use a Bluetooth headset and microphone with Skype to make phone calls. This way, you don’t have to hold your iPad to your head when you make a telephone call! lol Taking calls is another story, I think, if the app’s not up.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

To succeed in the world of Farmville, the very first thing you need is money, and a lot of it. Apart from that, with money, you can even get yourself a luxurious FarmVille villa, the icon that marks your dominant status. To own the Farmville villa, it is as good as learning how to earn money fast. And the fastest way to build up your collection of coins is by practicing the soy bean trick.

Hello, I don’t normally submit feedback on blogs, as I prefer to read only. However I discover the article that you have written earlier has very insightful information, and I find it very informational. Anyway, I’m questioning whether or not you are open for hyperlink alternate, as I hope that we will agree on a mutual link exchange agreement. Hope to hear a positive reply from you, and have an excellent day!
