StarCraft II came out a few years ago and sold very well. They also just released the second installment of it within the past month or so, and considering it is essentially an over-priced expansion pack, it also sold very well.
In the ones I identified as "interactive movie", cinematic presentation deeply permeates the entire experience, gameplay and all.
Translation: Wearing your gumpy-old-man goggles, you dismiss games that feature lots of cinematics as "interactive movies", even though there is plenty of core gameplay to be had.
There *are* games that are essentially interactive movies, like Heavy Rain for example, or LA Noire, but putting shooters like BioShock Infinite or GTA (when doing the missions) in this category is ridiculous.
