Google has spoken: It's "video game"

Submitted by Jesper Juul (not verified) – Sat, 2006 – 12 – 02 10:38

"Video game": 43.7 million hits
"videogame": 13.8 million hits

As for video game vs. computer game vs. digital games: I think it's a good idea to use common terms and only coin neologisms for good reason. Most people I have asked felt that "video games" included console and computer games, but that "computer games" excluded console games.
