Videogame uber alles

Submitted by Matteo (not verified) – Fri, 2006 – 12 – 01 21:16

"Videogame" refers to a medium, "video game" is the combination of two different concepts (I totally agree with Ian on this) - True, the term videogame might be inadequate to describe things like Spore or SimCity, but "interactive entertainment" is awful. I find myself using "Ludic Simulations" more and more but it's probably just as bad. as a non sequitur: my mentor Gianni Canova argues that the real "video game" is cinema. Italians tend to use the word "videogiochi" rather then "video giochi", especially after two espresso. And what about "digital games"?
