He has written and designed dozens of award-winning and best-selling games including The 7th Guest, Doom 3, G-Force and Pirates of the Caribbean. He scripted and created the game world for Id's major release on all platforms, Rage, and also wrote the Random House novel based on his game.

His horror novel Beneath Still Waters was filmed and released by Lionsgate. His recent novel, Vacation, was a major 2011 release from St. Martin's Press, and the sequel, Home, was published in 2012. In 2014, St. Martin's/Macmillan released the SF epic novel, Star Road - co-written by Rick Hautala. Matt and Neil Richards created and are writing the 12-epsiode cozy mystery series, Cherringham, for Bastei Entertainment.
