    84: Killjoy

    It's admittedly a bit late, but I simply must comment. Best article I've read in a long time, not only because it is insightful and fascinating, but because it presents a realistic solution to the problem raised. This is an issue that exists in many other game genres; I am currently deciding...

    81: The Sincerest Form of Imitation

    Well-written article with some good points (ie. the shakey-cam in Gears of War), but overall a flawed premise. Nelsormensch, you make a good point about FPS and RTS games taking the heaviest influence from movies. I would like to further expound on the notion that this limited influence on...

    73: The Perception Engineers

    This article couldn't have come at a better time for me. I'm a fourth-year University student, about to graduate with a BA in Cognitive Systems (Psychology). I'm also about to be interviewed for a job with a local game developer, and I've been struggling to figure out how to explain what it is...
