I have heard many people saying game has soul...What points?

Let's do it this way. Here's Merriam-Webster's 8 different definitions of soul. You tell me which one pertains to video games.

1soul Pronunciation: \ˈsōl\ Function:noun Etymology:Middle English soule, from Old English sāwol; akin to Old High German sēula soulDate:before 12th century
1: the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life

2 a: the spiritual principle embodied in human beings, all rational and spiritual beings, or the universe bcapitalized Christian Science : god 1b

3: a person's total self

4 a: an active or essential part b: a moving spirit : leader

5 a: the moral and emotional nature of human beings b: the quality that arouses emotion and sentiment c: spiritual or moral force : fervor

6: person <not a soul in sight>

7: personification <she is the soul of integrity>

8 a: a strong positive feeling (as of intense sensitivity and emotional fervor) conveyed especially by black American performers b: negritude c: soul music d: soul food e: soul brother

Now I'm going to say that off the bat, the only one I see applying is #8, which is the word "soul" associated with soul music.
