Re: What makes a computer game good?

I would think that as complex as this answer could very easily be, it could be summed up in this way:

The basics behind a 'good' game is a balance of the apropriate aspects required for the type of game, and quality.

For example, instead of trying to say a game should be challenging but solvable, because not all games use a puzzle, i would shoot for something more of 'a well placed learning curve for the target participant'.
Reasonable graphics for the desired level of mental emersion.
Ease and convenience of control.
Conseptual quality (as opposed to storyline 'cause some dont have a plot.)

Try to simplify all the aspects to the most basic of ideas that are commonly shared between them and compare.

Hypography?
