David's techniques are a highly sought after feature in games because they greatly increase a players level of immersion and involvement which is key to a games success in today's market. David teaches readers how to identify and apply his techniques so that they can apply these same techniques and better their games.

Part 4 of this book is an entire section of case studies from well-known games like Grand Theft Auto III, Elite Force, American McGee's Alice, and Thief 1. Through these games, David teaches the reader how to identify specific techniques and then understand how they are applied so that the reader will be able to duplicate the skill in their games.
