David Wong posts about The Seven Commandments All Video Games Should Obey. #1 and #7 particularly resonate with me...

#7 Thou shalt let us play your game with real-life friends. - the reason the Wii is so compelling to non-gamers

#6 Thou shalt not pad the length of your games.

#5 Thou shalt not force repetition on the player.

#4 Thou shalt make killing fun.

#3 Thou shalt admit when enough is enough.

#2 Thou shalt make sure your game actually works.

#1 Better graphics do not equal innovation and/or creativity. - but they sure look better on the box!

He includes some great video examples of crimes against gamers.
