@Stepto Leaves Microsoft

Stephen Toulouse, widely known as Stepto over the Xbox Community, will be stepping away from his position at Microsoft 15 February 2012. After being at Microsoft nearly 18 years, Stepto says, "...it's the only world I've really ever known. I feel too strangely comfortable, and too strangely tied." He goes saying, "So over the past several weeks I've made the decision to resign and have been working with my management for an orderly transition."

There is not much to say, but he will be missed.

The community is already jumped on this news and is supporting Stepto 100%

His blog post announcing his resigning from Microsoft can be found here.

Winds of Steel

Winds of Steel is an Android based game developed by DeckEleven Entertainment that brings the thrill and excitement of a WWII action/shooter to the viewpoint of Japanese and American fighter pilots. Once you get into the mood of the game, you will encounter hours of addictive game play.

Just like a console based game, the main menu is comprised of a Campaign feature, Instant Action feature, Options feature, and to get more games from that developer, a More Apps feature.
