Heh, well at least the press release says BHG will develop for PC platform, not for Xbox (*cough*Halo*cough*). Whew!

edit:
BHG's news page states that it's a "three title agreement" (and Microsoft is spelled wrong ). Interestingly, the press text itself doesn't mention anything about how many game titles will be published through M$.

Well, in that case the title should be "it's MIROSOFT!!!"

Anyway, Microsoft is a rather good games publisher. After a shaky start (remember Microsoft Soccer and Full Court Press Basketball, anyone?) they've come around to publishing some quality games, including Age of Empires, a game which Brian Reynolds apparently sees as the kind of goal BHG are shooting for...

Anyway,how will the Microsoft splitup affect theGame Publishing division? Is it really a wise move to team up with a company on the way down?

1.What happens when they Break Up Microsoft ?

2 They seem to be working with Ensemble studios since they have the same publisher now.

Hmm, they are calling it multi-title agreement now in the news page... but what company is this "Mirosoft" that has invested in BHG? Haven't heard about it before...
