Video Games worlds like Final Fantasy, The Resident Evil Series, Everquest, Dark Age of Camelot, Halo, I could go on forever are far more complex and diverse than Marvel and DC have been for 30 years... The pocket universe of the big two companies has been on a repeating loop for the last 30 years..with the same characters doing the same things but with different creative teams...

If you want an all encompising in depth, complex fully realized world video games today offer more than comics in every single facet....

In fact playing the newly released Hulk Destruction game...the story so far is better than the Hulk has been in 20 years

Lance, what I was trying to point out was that comics as a medium, since they are telling stories about other people, helps a readers sense of empathy to grow, and this is something essential for young children.  My experience is that with videogames, there isn't the same level of emotional involvement with the characters, therefore, one isn't as affected by, let's say, the death of a central character than one is in a comicbook.

I agree that videogames are a valid artistic medium, just a very different one.
