Comic Books! Books themselves are not realistic. In comics you have to overcome the lack of motion for crying out loud! Once you do you can be touched just like movies. In exactly the same way? No maybe not, but they are different mediums. Even Television presents a different format than film. You spend far more time with characters and really there is far more "filler" when compared to film, and yet I find Buffy, Lost or Firefly better than 90% of the films out there.
Games can do it. You just need to find the right balance of good writing, good characters, immersion, pacing, and gam"
