I don't think the majority of video games can be considered as having an "author". Unlike a novel that generally has just one creator, many of the games today I believe are collaborative efforts, in which one person or a group of persons will have a general idea for a game, and then other people are brought in to flesh it out in the manner of writers, storyboard artists, programmers, conceptual artist, etc. Out of many the ideas that are blended together help to create a whole, finished product, a process similar to an assembly line. It's rare to see a name on the front cover of a video game box, usually the credit goes to the developer.
