Anybody familiar with The Editing Room [http://www.the-editing-room.com/]? It's a comedy site that writes up very tongue-in-cheek abridged scripts of recent movies to poke good-natured fun at their (narrative) idiosyncrasies. Since I am keenly interested in game stories, I've applied that approach to games and have written up a series of scripts on such gems as Deus Ex [http://playthroughline.com/scripts/deus-ex/], BioShock [http://playthroughline.com/scripts/bioshock/], Mass Effect [http://playthroughline.com/scripts/mass-effect/] and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 [http://playthroughline.com/scripts/modern-warfare-2/].
Ther are many others, as well as some general observations about narrative in games on the blog itself:
