For me the difference would be about how engrossed boys get into games and how they replay them many times, whereas they tend to watch a film once and once watched it is put to bed.

As a mother of 3 boys I have seen and heard how bl**dy engrossed they get in games. I have run upstairs before now hearing my son shouting thinking something awful has happened only to discover it was all about a game., he was so flipping engrossed in a game he was shouting at it. He has never done that with a film.
Yeah some kids do get very into the games. We have this quite often with Gavins kids. Obviously mine are a bit young for stuff like this (though my daughter does like a bit of sonic And gets very frustrated)

A few times we have heard a barrage of expletives come from his daughter (13) or his son (15) and have gone flying upstairs thinking they have hurt themselves or something, only to be confronted with a red faced sweary teenager who has just been killed in a game or something
