Final Fantasy VII, Half-Life*, Diablo, Diablo II*, Rouge Squadron, Pod Racer, Phantom Menace, Tomb Raider 1-4, StarCraft, WarCraft 1+2, Road Rash, and half of the other video games out there. They're on the computer and video game consoles so what would you call them! Basically 'computer games' are 'video games' and the computer is their platform. They're no different from one another, especially with platforms like Dreamcast, PS2, and Dolphin; which can go on the internet, just like computers, and with the PS2 you can hook up every kind of computer part imaginable with the use of its USB and PCMCIA ports. My point in all this is not to get anyone to argue with me (because there's nothing to argue about) but to say that games are games, not 'video games' and 'computer games'.
