    Because it is. The whole point of the thread is the comparison between games and other forms of media.

    Not only that but it's an excellent point to make. Do the dozens of crappy Steven Segal movies invalidate the entire medium? Of course not, because that would be a ridiculous statement.
    ok. But there's a plethora of film that far outweighs the Steven Segal tripe. The same isn't true for video games. So in that regard also it's still the weakest.
    True, but what I (and other people) were trying to say is that there are some games which show potential for gaming to become something more than most of the stuff put out on the market at the moment and actually be considered an equal to other forms of media.

    There's certainly a lot of growing up to do before that happens though. I don't think anyone would deny that.
