As a long time fan of the Final Fantasy series, starting with FFIV for Super Nintendo, once or twice a year I pick up one of Squares titles and play through to the end. It's no mystery why I find these games fun, they're part strategy, and part storytelling in a unique and engaging way that is different from may other mediums. Unlike a movie, some of these games take 40-80 hours to complete, and unlike a book, the entire experience is engaging with audio, sometimes video, text, and interactivity.
