Pretty good read for the noobs: http://www.bungie.net/perlbin/blam.pl?file=/site/0/news/stories/be_a_game_designer_101.html Written by Jaime Griesemer, Lead Designer on Halo 2. I sorta know the guy and he''s no fool... Though he did get his job at Bungie by starting a fansite for Myth a few years ago and being asked to be an intern. I guess some people just get lucky =)

I don´t agree on all the points, but all in all he´s right.
