In this edition of Gaming By Design, Colin and Richard are pointing their podcasting fingers at the believability of characters in videogames. How are believable characters created? Where are the good examples and how is the believability of a character shattered? With a lengthy reading list of Batman Arkham Asylum, Half Life, Uncharted, Singularity and many more hopefully you'll be both informed and entertained -- of course the real goal is to get you talking amongst yourselves about the mechanics that make videogames work.

Hopefully our musings will be entertaining and informative - but our real aim is to get you dissecting and talking amongst yourselves.
