  • Bungie Publications – Various papers on Bungie’s development of the Halo series. Lots of interesting info outside of game design per se, but also some good AI breakdowns.
  • Movement Mechanics in “The Legend of Zelda” – A fairy detailed article on Link’s moveset in the original game and its sequel, and another example of why Nintendo’s games often just “feel” so good.
