Video Games or Digital Games?

It makes more sense to use the term "video game" over "digital game" simply because most every digital game or gaming medium relies on a visual element more than, say, audio or olfactory elements. The games contending for the nomenclature are all digital, ranging from Pong to Fallout 3. However, from a pragmatic standpoint, the interesting element of the games is not their binary nature, but the simple fact that we use some form of a controller to manipulate what happens on a visual monitor, be it a television or LCD screen. The attraction lies in the end, not the means, in this case.
