Gaijin Games (ofBit.Trip Beatand the upcomingBit.Trip Core) is the videogame developer you want to work for. In talking to the guys at this year’s E3, I really got the sense that they were all equal partners in the pursuit of creating games that weren’t about making money or appeasing any one audience, but were rather solely focused on doing what they want to do. After enduring all the wanna-be-action-movie games, soulless marketing ploys and ingenue garbage that comes from being at a massive trade show like E3, my time with the guys from Gaijin was a huge breath of fresh air. These guys make videogames because they love videogames, and that’s it. For that reason alone, they are a team you should keep an eye on.

Hit the jump for first of three Gaijin Games interviews where we get inside info on the storyline of theBit.Tripseries, how to playBit.Trip Corelike a pro, and the origins ofCore‘s unique play style.
