Kevin Bachus Joins Infinium Labs

In what my be the biggest suprise this year int he game industry, Microsoft's Kevin Bachus joins Infinium Labs as their President and CEO.

Bachus most recently worked at Capital Entertainment Group, the videogame investment and production company he co-founded with another key member of the original Xbox team, Seamus Blackley, but which closed its operations late last year.
