Which is the bit that's missing for you?
On the whole, I find games more rewarding than films/books/music personally. Even though you pay for all the content in a game you still have to work to advance to experience it all. A film, you just sit and watch. Music, you sit and listen (dance if you really want). Try to unravel hidden conceptions etc if you like, but (and this is just me) but knocking the living fuck out of some boss is more rewarding than knowing movie X was having a sly dig at socialism (or what have you)
He's a poor mans Charlie Brooker. Simple as.
