Nose around online and you’ll unearth hundreds of sites dedicated to playing video games, but virtually none devoted to the craft of making them. Gamasutra single-handedly fills that void, delivering professional reporting about daily industry happenings along with a comprehensive job-search tool and thoughtful essays about the art, audio, programming and general Zen of game design. It’s also the only place you’ll find reflective, often confessional postmortems from actual game developers detailing what worked and what didn’t during a game’s inception.
