Games = interactive movies
Thats only partially true. I would say thats correct for a game like Uncharted or even MGS4 which have incredibly detailed storylines.
However a game like Fallout 3, which has a deep story, isn't really an interactive movie. RPGs focus on utter and complete immersion into their world which can be played with almost like a real one.
Shooters on the other hand are a completely different breed. Shooters will tend to have the story as secondary and really are something like a 3d virtual version of a games like paintball or lazer tagging (multiplayer). There are exceptions, of course, but these seem to be the broad categories emerging.
