For the longest of times games have been attempting to ape the cinema and its a mistake. Games like any new medium bring new possibilities, games major advantage is interactivity. Games have a long way to go before they can even approach film as a narrative medium, but hopefully in the end games wont have to compete with film in that arena (as to be frank they'll lose), hopefully and you can see it with the wii and DS gaming will continue to evolve and stand on its own merits. Gaming shouldn't be looked at as a narrative based medium, its an interactive based medium, it can have a narrative but then again look at tetris? The most amazing puzzle game ever made and it doesn't have a story. Every time the games industy tries to copy the film industry its selling itself short as an artistic medium.
