I do because they can combine music, video, reading, and of course game play. that's not to say other types of media aren't nice though.    

 

Agree? Disagree?

I prefer reality. 

It combines music, video, reading, gameplay, automatically comes in Hi Def for free, and has the best control setup ever.

yeah but it also has shocking charge times (8 hours out of every 24?! wtf? thats like a THIRD of the whole time!) and requires way too much manitenance = debugging, cleaning, energy supply, 100% failure rate eventually.

 

oh, and you only get one life.

music, since it has helped me more than games through hard times



I like all kind of medias actually. But, gaming story-telling is pretty far from what reading already did.

Gaming is a media with great potential but the cultural industry really cut all this potential to release PES every year. I love gaming and I it's a great way to tell a story, but there are pretty few titles that uses this potential properly, and the ones that do make it basically using reading and cinema elements.

The only game that i dare to compare with (good)literature in quality is Xenogears. Probably there's more, but I know only this one by now.

I agree Trashleg, I wonder what the review of the human body by Wired magazine would look like?



I don't care what medium my porn uses.



I like all mediums when done right.



I do prefer gaming over other media.
