These links have been bouncing around my bookmark folders for a while, so I thought I'd share.
- Game Explanations for Beginners via Popmatters is a cool overview of the basics and history of gameplay. The author gets a bit philosophical towards the end, and his jokes are aimed at established gamers, so I'm not sure who his audience is...
- Samorost 2 is an odd amalgam of adventure and puzzle genres. The game isn't difficult, but the art is amazing. (After a quick Google search and 30 minutes of play I bring you Samorost [the Original]. Also cool.)
- Reading's good, too!
- I am not an avid gameplayer, but I was completely blown away by World of Goo. The same author wrote the story, created the art, composed the music, and designed the program. Great design tour here.
- More to come as I dig.
