Ex-Ensemble Studio Members Back With Microsoft

No, ex-Ensemble Studios (Age of Empires) employees won't be playing with D-Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, but they will be working alongside Microsoft once again.

Kotaku reports that Robot Entertainment -- made up of ex-Ensemble people -- is working on a game for its old partner Microsoft codenamed Spartan.

In 2009 the company was dissolved by parent company Microsoft despite being at the height of its powers with the Age of Empires series and the release of Halo Wars. Despite this seemingly rocky past, at least some who used to be at Ensemble obviously want to make sweet, sweet music with Microsoft again.
