All those unfortunate employees at Pandemic who were canned by EA recently might want to consider applying for Microsoft. Numerous listings on Microsoft's jobs page show that the company is hiring for its upcoming Project Natal as well as other game projects at Microsoft Game Studios.
It's worth noting that Microsoft is not only looking to add to its Natal team, but it seems the company is also actively hiring to expand the talent within 343 Industries, which is Microsoft's new division devoted to handling all things related to the valuable Halo franchise.
Additionally, one listing mentions a Lead Producer to "lead the publishing side of games made by Epic: Gears of War and Shadow Complex." Of course, both of those franchises are Xbox 360 exclusives and Shadow Complex is now a top IP on Xbox Live Arcade, having broken sales records in its first week. So it's looking pretty likely, based on this, that Epic's Chair Entertainment will be developing a Shadow Complex sequel. We can't wait.
