Microsoft builds Second Life game to promote Visual Studio

Second Life is becoming all the rage for first world tech companies. Microsoft has recently opened Visual Studio ISland within the world of Second Life to promote their Visual Studio product, and to offer some much needed rest and gaming for Visual Studio developers.

The Island is stunning, but what is far more interesting is the game designed to engage visitors to Visual Studio Island. Hovering far above the main building you'll find a giant blimp, and the end object of the game. Players gain access to whatever wonders may lie inside this huge floating orb by solving ten puzzles spread throughout the Second Life world.

Check out the Gallery below to see what you're missing on the visually humbling island of Visual Studio. In world, search "Visual Studio" to teleport in and begin playing the game yourself.
