Last week I came across this interesting Gamasutra article on videogame instruction manuals. It got me thinking about how my gaming habits have changed in regards to instructions. When I was younger, manuals were pretty important and often a valuable resource. Nowadays, I'm irritated if I have to open the box and pop out the manual. Heck, I haven't even touched the manuals for the vast majority of games I've bought over the last three console generations.
