Sorry if this was posted elsewhere, but I couldn't find it.

Smashing magazine recently published a good article: Playful UX Design: Building a Better Game

It has 10 tips on improving the user experience your games -- thought I'd share it here.

@NewSkool : Thanks for posting. Some great advice here!

My pick:
