They're Also More Expensive
I believe a good video game has more value than a good film, for the individual. Video games often offer more than a few hours of entertainment and they are interactive. Furthermore, recent video games have adopted plot lines that mimic films. This doesn't indicate that I dislike films, I actually prefer them personally.
Yes, good video games have more value.
Good video games provide more value than good films. A good video game will engage the person playing. It will improve hand-eye coordination, improve reflexes, increase problem solving skills and provide entertainment in the process. Most people cannot snack and play video games at the same time so that is a plus. A good film will draw the watcher in as they sit on the couch eating popcorn or potato chips, unmoving for 2 hours or more.
A good game
A good video game, like Call of Duty Ghosts for me, can provide hours and hours of fun and entertainment, and takes a lot longer for you to get tired of it than a good movie, which will only last for maybe a max of three hours, then your done.
Good films are better
Don't get me wrong, the story lines and interaction in video games is really starting to get pretty incredible. But, aside from a very good book, there is nothing to capture the imagination like a well-acted, well-directed, and well written movie. It grips you and makes you do a lot of thinking.
They have more cultural merit.
Good films have more value than good video games, because good films have good cultural aspects to them. Good films explore culture, history, and characterization. A video game is something that a person just does for fun, that does not make them more fun or a better educated person for playing it.
