When I was a teen and got Blood 2, I was already interested in game development (I was thinking of DigiPen with hopes of working for Nintendo, but that didn't work out financially). I emailed them if I could take a tour to see a game studio since I was interested in it as my career. I got a reply from them (someone named Bob, I think? I don't have access to that email anymore), and they thanked me for my interest but politely let me down citing secrets and proprietary stuff.

I just looked at their website and I think Blood 2 was the only game I played on their engines. Maybe a demo of FEAR at some point, but I don't think so.

You're doing yourself a disservice if Blood 2 is the only Monolith game youve played. No One Lives Forever, AVP2, and FEAR are all really well done pre-CoD4 shooters.
