What Is Game? | Only Speaking Professionally

OnlySP writes - "Is Beyond: Two Souls game? Beyond: Two Souls released this week, and, as pretty much every single time a piece of interactive entertainment that doesnt involve angry men with guns releases the question of is this A Game? raised its head. Is Beyond: Two Souls a video game? Sure, it has a main character, and a story (well, a story), and it has interactivity. But does pressing X to Jason count as playing? If you believe a decent slice of those ever insightful users on Metacritic, no, its not a game. And because it is not A Game, how can it get full points out of ten (as if that were some gold standard of Official Gamedom) and be the paragon of the format?"
