Introduction

As a person who's more dominant hobby is video games i sometimes watch video's online that are gaming related.from these videos, I've heard a lot of praise of certain games from time to time . after hearing about how unique and special these games are, i finally tried them out and saw what everyone else was talking about, with the curiosity that these games left inside me i felt i had to dig deeper into each game. After searching i saw all of the idea's and connections that they had and how they related to the things I've learned in English class.

One thing that makes the art of games different from the art of  movies, books or music. Is that games take all of the other art forms put them together and then make it interactive.  because interaction can is the one thing that video games have that the other art forms don't, it play's a big roll in all games and can help make a good game(but sometimes it can totally ruin a game). Interaction gives the player choice. unlike movies or books where the story is already setup for the audience, video games can give a player the chance to make their story unique with the choices they make. Depending on the game, this element of choice also makes games more replay-able and can make the experience last hundreds of hours long.

Here I will talk about various games as an art form as opposed to a form of entertainment and show that video games can explore idea's just as good as a book or movie.
