Forums - Gaming - What's a game?

To be honest, I can't tell anymore.  With the term "non-game" being used alot to describe things like Brain Age and Wii-Fit, I've been frustrated to no end trying to figure out why.  I honestly think that anything that's interactive and played for amusement can qualify as a game.  Why don't these "non-games" fit the bill?  It's driving me crazy. Please help me.

brain age and wii-fit are games, they just appeal to non-gamers more, i think thats were the term non-game came from.

Brain Age is a learning experience, it's more like being at school. Wii-Fit is exercise

Have you played Brain Age? I'm assuming you haven't.

Yeah... and it's frustrating. The voice portion was so annoying. I started screaming at it, because it wouldn't understand the colors I said. I like Brain Academy better.

Eh, it's cool. I like Brain Age, I just don't see why it's not a game.

They are games...but in a whole new genre... but still games...



They are games for 'Non-Gamers', people that don't normally game
