I would say that books are much more numerous than videogames, and while most books are trash, there is no denying that there exists an immense body of literature that is worth reading
I understand that you can reject most of the games, but why reject the medium itself ? There are so many possibilities given by the immersion and interaction, to create new and interesting experiences. Whether or not the creators are using this potential yet is another question... But I don't understand how someone as literate and opened as you are (from what I can see on this forum) can be so closed on that point (no offense by that, I'm just trying to understand !)
Saying that all videogames are crap without experiencing some of the best games from the beginning to the end could be the same that people saying that fashion is superficial and meaningless. Or someone who says that fashion is shit knowing only Dolce & Gabbana (to take an exemple you seem to appreciate ). There are so much more when you dig, but it takes a little research to go further and uncover the pearls, in the case of fashion, brands like we all appreciate here. I think it is the same for video games. Do you see what I mean ?
For exemple, games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Katamari, or Flower, are truly worth trying, as it provides an experience that no other medium could have achieved.
