I enjoy both books and games, and it's really hard to compare them directly. Even if we stick to the same genre, games provide interactivity that books just can't, while books provide so much more depth in story and often much better pacing.
It's the same idea as reading vs watching movies, the book will feel so much more satisfying, but it'll take days instead of hours to get through. Sometimes that's worth it, shows it's not.
These days I just don't enjoy movies much anymore because I'm either looking for the depth of a book or interaction of a game. I just wish there were more video game adaptations of movies.
