How to Fully Appreciate Video Games

We love video games but we feel that a lot of people we meet just don't know enough about them or take the time to fully appreciate them. Why not, we wondered? For some people, it's not that they don't want to but that they really don't know how.
There are many people today who will even consider video games to be a work of art. There is a great deal of talent and sill that must go into creating a successful, popular video game and it's important that as a player, you learn to fully appreciate each and every one.
Some gamers rush through a game or a review of a game waiting for the good stuff, fast action scenes or exciting levels and give very little attention to the other details that make up the game. Other gamers rely on the word and opinions of reviews and people they play with to help them make decisions regarding which games they play. When you learn to appreciate video games, you can be your own critic and make your own choices about what you play and why. You may find you are pleasantly surprised by some of the games you discover.
It's also encouraged that you try new games or new genres that you may not normally play. Even if you don't end up finding a new favorite game, it's important to appreciate all that the video gaming community has to offer.
