Isagani: Yes, I almost got my wallet stolen one time I was playing in the arcade.
What’s your favorite game, or what game made you want to be a game developer?
Van: Favorite of all time, it’s Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Metal Gear Solid made me want to be a part of game development.
Isagani: Fallout 1 is my all-time favorite game.
What excites you most about Battle Racers?
Van: There’s an echo of Twisted Metal to it. It is better played with other person because the game becomes exciting and unpredictable.

If you were a car, which brand and model would you be and why?
Van: Police Car. I always wear black and white and when it is party time my sirens are on.
Isagani: A classic 1969 Volkswagen Beetle. Old, slow, needs lots of care, but can be loads of fun with the right kind of people.
