Video games lend themselves really well to world building. A story teller who likes to create a rich world is better suited to a video game instead of a movie.
They are also suited to story tellers who want to tell their story through interactions, exploration and discovery. Games like Ico, Sotc and Journey excel at that. Video games are still a new medium though, movies and indirectly tv have almost a 100 year advantage on video games, a lot more if you count plays.
As the medium matures it will draw more and better story tellers. Games like the walking dead are an indication that things are starting to move along.
