Are games really "games" anymore?

 Video games are no longer "games" anymore. They are stories.

Some games are real life events, remade into the virtual world. Take for example Medal of Honor 2010, they had Navy Seal members tell real life situations and stories. From those stories Dice created the game.

So is it really a game? I would say no.

It's a story. A real life story. These are the things that truly intrigue me, the way that game developers can hear a story, then create it on the screen.

Even games like Mass Effect 2, which is set in the future, is still a story. Yes, made up, But it is still a story.
