Just the little mix of everything: memorable worlds, characters, soundtracks, etc. and it's all coming from various people's minds, which is pretty amazing if you ask me. I can't believe how fun it looks to create such virtual worlds and all (look at Bungie studios, when they worked on Halo 3. They seemed to have had lots of fun)!
Also, you know you can always try to challenge yourself, especially when you play hard games like pretty much all the Shoot 'Em Up games out there. There are also games that can help you understand stuff or make you try other things in life. Take my example, The Legend of Zelda series definitely helped me learn English when I was young. I always asked my brother and parents what this or that word meant, and now knowing what to do in order to clear a certain puzzle, it just linked into my head! Or also take Guitar Hero for example, it motivated me to try playing real guitar, and I'm getting quite good at it too! I'm starting to understand the whole music world more and more. It's also why I'm getting more interested in video game melodies and themes, some of them are just masterpieces!
When you think about it, people creating games have a goal, and it's to entertain in many various ways. That's why I think video gaming is the best form of art ever because it combines all of them together in a little $60 package!
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
