I was wondering if anyone had any methods, tips, secrets for the "art" of gameplay storytelling. This would include in-game, text, voice overs, slideshow animation, etc etc.

Please explain your prefered method (in detail please) of conveying stories.

The Half-life way.

Never break the realism.

No cut scenes or menus.

No scenes, just action.

In-Engine cutscenes can look pretty cool. I guess you'd have a basic scripting thing to control the cutscenes.

Well, typically cut-scenes are only cool for certain types of games. Cut-scenes are good for Metal Gear games but not good for Super Mario games.
