The evolution of games and gaming is a subject that fascinates me. We recently had the game baftas (awards ceremony) in the UK and some of the entrants were amazing. There's one, I think it might be called Flower, where you play a breeze, which blows petals through the air. Charlie Brooker did a really nice review of it, in which he said it was strangely moving.
I love the way games are starting to get past the geeky image now. Dara O'Briain (an Irish comedian and commentator) was interviewed at the awards and said that games no longer have to be apologetic. They are bigger business than music or cinema, and have come a hell of a long way since the days of Frogger. They are a valid form of cultural and artistic expression.
