A 3D game is not just limited to video games, however. There is a separate article just for personal computer games, which also applies to 3D games. ∞ΣɛÞ² 19:32, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

A personal computer game is a kind of video game, though, surely? I believe a '3D game' is a kind of 'Video Game'; it even says so on the personal computer game article. And I'm sure the concept of 3D graphics in games is covered in the links within the article, as well as the page for 3D computer graphics. I'm not convinced, but I'll wait for a reply.

Video game doesn't even mention 3D graphics, and only "3D art". 3D computer graphics doesn't have "game" anywhere on it except in its infobox as a link to "personal computer game", which does mention "3D graphics", "3D console titles", and "3D games" but there is no section specifically devoted to 3D games, which this article can evolve into (such as what makes up a 3D game, its various game engines, etc). ∞ΣɛÞ² 22:48, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
I see the specifics as being covered by the articles on game development and CG. Correct, the Video Game article only mentions '3D Art' in passing, but it is a vague, all-encompassing article. Its links go on to discuss the specifics, including 3D gameworlds and the techniques used to create them. Others such as History of video games cover the history of 3D graphics in games.

Well, if anything, I think the redirect should be to personal computer game and not video game then. ∞ΣɛÞ² 13:05, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
