Hideo Kojima (MGS), Ken Levine (Irrational), Chris Avellone (Obsidian -
KOTOR II chaps), Tim Shafer (he of Lucas adventure greatness fame) and Ragnar Tørnquist (The Longest Journey) comment on story in games, one of my favourite areas for discussion and improvement in this digital artform.

More games need to tell great stories without
ever resorting to cutscenes - see Half Life for starters. And yes "More
games need to" is already becoming my catch phrase on this blog, oh well.

While their dry and humourless review style generally bores me to tears, when GameSpot post a good feature article it’s usually worth reading, particularly anything by Geoff Keighley. This one’s by Greg Kasavin, but it’s good anyway.
