One final part of rant - never sound like you're saying 'all games' should be like this: that's an immediate fail IMHO.

All games should be fun.  All games should be entertaining.

Do those fail too?

Yes, because a mature game might want to be disturbing rather than fun, serious rather than entertaining.  While the concept of 'game' implies your statements would be right the very concept of what a 'video game' can be is changing.  Games can now use the medium to explore other topics.  Is Silent Hill 2 'fun' and 'entertaining' for example?  I wouldn't say so.  I really like the game but played properly its a dark exploration of guilt and desire, with a pretty dark reveal that reverses the usual assuptions about the character you are 'playing'.

So sorry, you do fail now - although I suspect for a long time a majority of games will be just games: fun and entertaining.

To me its like people who say films should just be entertainment - of course they shouldn't, although most can be.
