Since this thread has evolved into a game AI thread, I thought I might post a link to the website of the Game AI Pro books
Game AI Pro
There are three books as of now and a fourth if forthcoming. The chapters are written by people from the industry. You can read the first two books for free. There is a nice chapter about FEAR and some chapters about Last of Us. Maybe some of you will find this a worthwhile read.
Also, by pure accident, i stumbled upon this book called Artificial Intelligence and Games just now. Apparently the PDF version of that book can be downloaded here. It seems to be less hand-on and more a scientific overview. I don't know if it is any good but thought some might want to check it out anyway.
