Why Games Can Make For Boring Conversation

SHORT POST!

If it weren't for reviewing games, I'd have little to say about them. The reason has less to do with most games being cliches, and more to do with their inherent lack of nouns and verbs. Compared to other things, like movies and books and life, games tend to not have much wordage.

"What can the 'characters' in the 2D/3D space do?" "They can run, jump, explode, shoot, stab, 'interact,' go, stop," and yes there are more words, but not like there are in life or literature or film. NOT TO SAY THAT ALL GAMES ARE LIKE THIS. But you understand what I mean.

Therefore, being able to review a game is important. If I can say why it works or not, I can say something about it.
