Brownmonster Games wasn't created until I left my paid job in the games industry. I started working in the industry in the early 2000's and worked on a number of released games. Below is a list of these along with the platforms that it was released on and some of the roles I played when working on them. Of course since the beginning of Brownmonster games, the Rush Rally series is the main highlight, that's why you are here right!?
If I had to choose a favourite game that I have worked on other than the Rush Rally series it would most certainly be Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed. I still play this with my kids today.
