maybe he can help make a Sony fighting franchise, and a rival shooter.

Rare veteran George Andreas has left Microsoft to join Sony.

Andreas, who played a key role in the development of the Kinect hardware, Kinect Sports 1 and Kinect Sports: Season 2 as well as Xbox 360 launch games Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero, joined Sony this month as creative director of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, working out of SCEE's London office.

During his 16 years at Rare he worked on most of the legendary studio's games, including various Banjo titles, Viva Pinata and, going back to Rare's Nintendo years, Donkey Kong 64, GoldenEye and Killer Instinct Gold.

he is hot!

Switch!!!

That'd be so awkward if he left Microsoft and Kinect to join Sony in order to work on Move.

His redemption is at hand.

Creative Director, eh? Im curious on things.

1. Was he fired by Microsoft/Rare, or did he just leave? If he just left, why were Microsoft willing to let him go to the competition so easily?

2. What will he bring to our much beloved Singstar?

LOL :D

I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
