All you potential game designers and developers out there might find this interesting. There's a new book just been published on Storytelling and Developing Characters for computer games. GameRifts have an interview posted with the Author Lee Sheldon which makes for interesting reading. Here's a small taste:

Would you mind describing your book's premise in a nutshell?
Character Development and Storytelling for Games is an attempt to bring some scholarship, artistic context and simple common sense to the creation of characters and writing of stories in computer games. Before now there have been a smattering of books on writing and designing games, or that touched briefly on those topics, but never one written by someone who makes his living as a professional writer.


You'll find the entire interview Here.
