While I've not picked up a videogame in years, I had a fantastic time with Bioshock when I played it. The level of detail and care that went into building a world and story in a cohesive narrative was fully on display, and I loved every second of it. If videogames are what it takes to bring more of those ideas and questions about philosophy and morality to people who otherwise wouldn't read or watch films, then I'm here for it.
Bioshock is still one of my favourite games for all the reasons you listed. It's also a relatively short experience for a videogame, making it worth the attention exchange imho. I agree and I also think better videogames could lead to people engaging with those other media, once they've become more interested in ideas than gameplay.
