GAMES : Theory

A couple of interesting articles over at Gamasutra about game theory/design

• What games aren't is an extract from a book, and is written very nicely. It looks at the various ways we enjoy ourselves, and why, and then tries to define what games arent'; where they don't fit in to the different ways in which we enjoy ourselves.
• Hey Bro - It's all relative! is about analysing the design of a game from different perspectives. It's quite interesting, and I don't think it needs to be restricted to gaming. Also the catagorization of games players is interesting too. Could be a nice addition to 'How to be the worlds best GameMaster'
