In this first section of this Blender 2.5 Video Tutorial, I cover the creation of a game-friendly model (i.e. low-polygon), texturing, rigging, animating, and bringing it into the game engine with basic forward and back controls, as well as turning left and right, and running.

The first 8 minutes of the video is a time lapse video of me modeling and rigging a quick low poly character. If you are unfamiliar with this part of it please visit my alien rigging series here on Blender Cookie. With this series we wanted to focus a bit more on the game engine.
