IGN: "Today at GDC, Riot Games Narrative Lead Tom Abernathy and Microsoft Game Studios Design Lead Richard Rouse III gave a fascinating 25 minute-long speech entitled Death to the Three Act-Structure. Within that presentation, the two industry veterans talked a great deal about game narrative, touching on some of the finest examples in recent memory, from Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Portal to The Last of Us and Fallout 3.
