The queer masculinity of stealth games - Offworld
When I reach the bottom of the subway stairs, three men unpeel themselves from the wall and approach me.

Jonathan Blow has explained the rationale behind some of Braid's ending and story.

[EDITOR'S NOTE: While patents are still a controversial subject in the game industry, we still think it's important that Gamasutra covers them. If you have an opinion on any of the patents or ideas for both hardware and software described in this piece, please submit a Letter To The Editor with your points of view and we'll reprint them.] When the editors at Gamasutra asked us to prepare a list of the top ten video game patents, we initially thought "Hey, no problem, that will be easy."
