-could describe or visualize a 3d situation
-the more indexical ('documentary') the game is made, the worse the game play. >escape from woomera is nearly unplayable.
-gamers (in contrast to non-gamers) often tend to get more focused on the game mechanics than on the games surface. the games' look an mood to them is just a way to dress up the mechanics.
