			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Disney, still seemingly high off the fumes of last week&#8217;s monumental <a title="Marvel purchase" href="http://blastmagazine.com/the-magazine/entertainment/2009/08/disney-buys-marvel/" target="_blank">Marvel purchase</a>, today bought Wideload Games with Bungie Founder Alex Seropian signing on as Vice President of creative endeavors for the studio.</p>
<p>Seropian&#8217;s exact role? He&#8217;ll be pegged with overseeing creative development across Disney Interactive Studios&#8217; portfolio of video games. So, the man who founded Bungie, made &#8220;Myth,&#8221; &#8220;Marathon,&#8221; and most notably the premier Xbox launch title &#8220;Halo,&#8221; will now lead Disney Interactive projects moving forward.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wideload Games is among the premier small creative game development        studios in the world. Wideload Games will be a great fit for our        portfolio of internal studios, and Alex joining the global product        development team provides the entire Disney game portfolio with a strong        creative influence&#8221; said Graham Hopper, executive vice president and        general manager, Disney Interactive Studios. &#8220;Alex has built his        reputation around the power of original thinking. In leading the studio        that created <em>Halo</em>, he helped turn great storytelling, exceptional        design and polished gameplay into the &#8220;Ëœkiller app&#8217; for Xbox. Alex&#8217;s        leadership of our creative community will enhance our ability to be a        magnet for the best talent in the industry and enable the company to        take an even more significant role in developing industry leading        products.&#8221;</p>
<p>Disney promises that Wideload&#8217;s main focus will remain centered upon creating original video game properties, though we don&#8217;t know what any of them are at this time.</p>
<p>What will Disney buy next?</p>
