Just thought I'd share this website, intelligent discussion of games and game design, this page links to an interview with lead game designer, Rich Lemarchand, he originally studied physics and philosophy in college.

A quote from Mr. Lemarchand:

Quote:
"I've become very interested in human attention in recent years," Lemarchand observed, noting that we rarely talk about attention because it's hard to understand. He suggested that, "Games hold our attention by presenting beautiful systems to us that capture our imaginations. ...We love watching big systems unfold." Games can enable players to inhabit this process in ways other media cannot.
