4. Pleasure Pain and Play

In general, games are fun activities to do. Some which are meant to be pure entertainment and others are meant to tell a story or moral. Like watching a TV show or a movie, it brings a story line and a plot which veiwers, or in this case players, are meant to follow and finish. Some games end with open endings, which is similar to what some movie plots end.
There are three theories to the aestetics of play, reward flow and iteration.
