Over the past four years, Blue Castle has brought together 160 of the most talented minds in the industry, shipped three titles in the process (The BIGS, MLB Front Office Manager and The BIGS 2 all published by 2K Sports) and are currently working on Capcom’s Dead Rising 2.

Production of art certainly involves a multitude of objective factors -- those the factors when we self-criticize, when we learn, and when we study.
