What is a video game

A video game is something that requires human interface for it to run properly. It must also have some sort of a resebelence of levels or stages in the game.

A video game can be controlled by a few things e.g. You, avatar, gaming controller, keyboard & mouse, touch screen and arcade stick. There are still loads of other ways that a video game can be controlled by.

Video game must be fun and satisfying, but on the other hand it can be stressful, challenging and addictive.

Most importantly it must be interactive!!!
