I'm one of those people who believe that gaming changed its face over the years and as of today, with spacious and really gorgeous games out there, there's nothing that makes a game any worse than a good book or a good movie - in fact, in some respects it can be even better.
Totally better than films but not for books, I would tend to only say that for retro games where there was still a little that was left to imagination. The graphics were so bad when compared to todays games that you really did have to have a bit of imagination which really lends itself to people who like books.
Nowadays, there's not much left to imagination, in fact all of the thinking has been done for you so you can just sit there like a drone playing the game. This is where I think Nintendo will always play close to my heart. I mean you can straight away tell that a Nintendo game is NOT real life and there no illusions as such, making the gaming world that much more interesting and again opening the door to the players imagination. Bravo!
On topic, I play 3DS on my bus journeys and in the garden / on the sofa sometimes. The only "serious" game that interests me is PSO and I've been hooked on news about PSO2 and I even had a chance to play it already since the alpha. Mass Effect 3's Multiplayer got me hooked a bit though I must admit, it's the rare weapon scenario again.
