<![CDATA[What Makes a Great Tutorial?]]>Tutorials are essential to every game experience. In that time we learn the game mechanics, the key players, and of course the main quest. The first few hours of a game can easily make or break our opinion of it.

So what makes a great tutorial? Beyond just explaining the controls, what do some games do that hook you at the start and keep you coming back?
