About Big Huge Games
www.bighugegames.com
Big Huge Games exists for two purposes: to make great games, and to have a great place to come to work everyday. Both of those goals result from hiring and retaining fantastic team members in every specialty. Our hiring mantra is "value team skills as much as technical skills"--meaning we don't hire 5-star technicians with 2-star personalities. We're working on diverse next-gen products, including an RPG headed up by Ken Rolston, the lead designer of Oblivion, as well as an unannounced Wii game unlike anything else in the market.
