But how do you get there? Well, by following some simple rules of thumb that come courtesy of that old thing called psychology. Achieving game flow should be at the top of the list in game design, forming an integral part of the process from the very beginning....

Third party publishers, like Electronic Arts for example, also end up profiting from the competition as well. The better the platforms, the better the potential experiences, and the more interested gamers are....
