How 3 Microsoft interns earned their (Aegis) Wings

The Seattle Times retells the history behind Aegis Wing, this week's free Xbox Live Arcade game. The Voltron-inspired space shooter reportedly was "the result of three months of intense work" for three interns / Computer Science majors, along with some help from Microsoft's own Carbonated Games (Hexic, UNO).

Two of the three interns now work at Microsoft and one is set to intern again this summer. Carbonated adds another title to their resume, college graduates get employment opportunities, Xbox 360 owners get a free arcade game, and all the puppies in the world find loving families who feed them well and take them on lots walks in the park. Well, three out of four isn't bad.
