SEATTLE, WA (March 8th, 2006) – Giant Bite Games (www.giantbite.com),
a next generation game development studio focusing on the
creation of excellent games and a fun workplace, formally
opens its doors today. Giant Bite is founded by game
industry veterans Hamilton Chu, Michael Evans, Andy
Glaister, and Steve Theodore. The principals have helped to
create some of the best-known games in the world, including
Halo, Halo 2, Half-Life and Counter-Strike, as well as making
key contributions to Microsoft’s DirectX technologies.
Giant Bite’s executive team has shipped over thirty games

depth of experience from which to draw. Hamilton Chu was
Lead Producer at Bungie during the making of Halo and Halo
2. Michael Evans worked on Halo and Halo 2 as Multiplayer
Lead and Lead Engineer. Andy Glaister was the Director of
Development for the Microsoft Game Studios and led the
engineering team of Windows Graphics and Gaming. Steve
Theodore worked on Half Life and Counter-Strike, and most
recently was the Technical Art Manager at Zipper
Interactive; he also writes the monthly art column for Game
Developer magazine.
“We’re proud of our work at Bungie, Microsoft and Zipper”
says Michael Evans, “It was amazing to work with such
fantastic teams on games that turned out so successfully.
And now, we’re excited to build something of our own.”
“Giant Bite will keep the traditions of world class
production values and cohesive game play. We see a great
opportunity to build the sort of company that we always
wanted to work for” adds Andy Glaister.
Giant Bite is currently in discussions regarding its first
project.
