Default Prime welcomes guest author Matt Jones to discuss what makes a video game and whether or not developers are losing sight of this as games grow to be more and more like film as they evolve.

Ask yourself, if you will; what is a game?

I suppose you could see the question from any number of angles, any number of interpretations. You could view it mechanically – a typical game involves an actor, maybe several, multiple mechanics, parameters. You could take each individual aspect of a game and put a magnifying glass to it. Or you could take it at its most literal definition; something to be played.
