Continuing our trawl through 2010's video game munificence, let's examine the top full-length features of the past week on big sister 'art and business of gaming' site Gamasutra, plus our GameCareerGuide features for the week.

This time, we've got some rather neat interviews (a fascinating chat with Shanghai-based veteran American McGee, and a rare talk with Nintendo of Korea's preseident), analysis pieces (Matt Matthews looking back on U.S. retail sales for December and all of 2009, with lots of gorgeous graphs), and rather more alluring design, business and programming articles besides.

Here's the top stories of the week:
