Xbox One has launched!!

well, after many years of research and development on the hardware (and software/games) -- the Xbox One launched on November 22nd!

I was proud to work alongside such passionate and talented people that came together to create the future of video games and entertainment!

As for my contributions: I was part of a Content Council that reviewed/discussed all of our Day 1 launch games (over the course of 2.5 yrs, in terms of my time involvement).. and we had several meetings with the Hardware team(s) to review the console as it was being developed and to provide input and other suggestions. I was also responsible for the Art Direction of 2 launch titles: Ryse and Powerstar Golf (working with the developers: Crytek and Zoe Mode) -- great job, teams!!

Here are some misc pics from the past week's launch event(s):

(Fireworks were launched from our offices/campus in Redmond, WA!)
