Games, is it a good word or not for what we do or not?.

The first thing, I think he got a point. Well maybe not everything but sometimes I feel like I want something else than just a game that gives me a 5 sec satisfaction with big explosions and oneliners. There are some games like that but they are still called games.


Take the game Myst for example, it doesnt have the the "kicks" and the same satisfaction as many other games got. Its a beautiful world where you alone tries to figure out its secrets in your own pace. That game is what I personally feel as something else than just a "game"

I know what you and the author are saying and I do agree that are all sorts of different "games" that's cause different levels of enjoyment. But I think that while those games fall into different genres, in the end they are still games. Im just talking in the sense of raw definition, everything else aside. It's kind of like saying a childrens book isn't really a book because it doesnt give you satisfaction. Well, despite the fact that it doesn't please you the same as other books may, it still is what it is.
