  What's in a Game? A Linguistic History of 'Videogame'
Time: 10:40 EST/15:40 GMT | News Source: GamesFirst | Posted By: Chris Hedlund

Here at Gamesfirst! we like to talk about games--interactive art, well tell you, and the future of art and storytellinga force more powerful and more frightening than its parent, the movie, or its grandparent, the stageboth terrifying in their own way, in their own time. But did you ever wonder where the word "videogame"came from? "Video" meets "game"--it sounds like a pretty straightforward etymology to get to the word that brings us all so much joy, but what we have here is a strange union between two ancient words whos roots stretch across recorded timeand further, in fact, into the dark night of prerecorded time.
