Could the classic board game Go be coming to Xbox Live Arcade? Well I suppose that all depends on how the hunt for a programmer goes. Someone on the Eurogamer forums unearthed a job listing on JobServe.com for a programmer to work on the game.

C++ Developer - Xbox 360 games. Experience of C/C++ programming. Development on at least one game title and a working knowledge of 2D graphics, 3D graphics, DirectX, networking and Xbox/Xbox 360. This role will involve writing a Xbox 360 title for Xbox Live Arcade. The game will be an adaptation of the classic board game Go, and will support a 3D view and networked Xbox Live play.

If you fit the bill, don't mind traveling to Cambridge England, and have 3-6 months to spare, go ahead and get right on that.

For those unfamiliar, Go is a game that features a large grid covered with black and white discs, with the object being to capture territory from your opponent. It is also the game movies have smart people play when they can't find a chess board. Michael Fahey
