I don't know if anyone's read any of these feature articles but some of them are really quite amazing. The most recent, "The Final Hours of Prince of Persia" is a great read, it gives some insight into the problems faced when creating a game and what goes through the minds of some of the nobodies of the game development industry when they're creating a new hit game.
They're quite long and I know it took me a period of days to read the PoP one, but I really recommend everyone should check them out if they're interested in what the game industry is like and how it works.
