Totally Xbox'ed

Microsoft look set to publish Totally Games' first title for Xbox, but it won't be a Star Wars title

Totally Games' recent decision to develop Star Trek : Bridge Commander for Activision may have put them in poor sted with traditional bill-payers Lucasarts, but thanks to some much-needed investment backing from Microsoft we may well get to see a space simulation of some sort on the Xbox. Its Xbox development team should number upward of 20 within a few weeks. Project lead is Rick White formerly of Mattel, with John Wick named as story editor and mission designer. With such talent on board and an already proven track record of successful titles including the highly acclaimed "X-Wing versus TIE Fighter" for Lucasarts it's no surprise that Microsoft are itching to add them to an already growing list of successful developers.
