Postmortems Articles
What better way is there to avoid mistakes or pick up helpful practices and tips than to learn from the experiences of other game developers? In a game's postmortem, the game developers discuss what went right and what went wrong throughout the process of creating their game. By reading these development experiences, you can sometimes learn a new approach to a problem which perhaps you wouldn't have considered, and speed up the development time of your own game. In general, they're often fun and interesting to read.
You can find the postmortems for major industry games at Gamasutra and in Game Developer Magazine.
