"They are writers not just readers. This concept allows players to ‘write’ their own story and have it tailored to their liking. This wasn’t always the case, because only until rather recently video games were simply produced and then left to the buyers to consume and wait for the companies next release"("Learning in gaming" )I most enjoy games that allow me to create my own story. Games like the Fable series allow players to decide they're own choices. Allowing them to become a good or bad character or something in between. In the Gardens of Time game that were played for class, had a some reading that pertained to a story line. It would seem that games as these are close to reading a book. Not quite, but a player is involved in a story that is told with words, accompanied by pictures to further the experience. One can examine, that this is a new thing for gaming. Older games like Mario had a strict progress, and didn't allow for any personalization.
