What makes a good game a good game?

[BBA]

Hey CB-Community!
Since there are actually quite a few games available for the BlackBerry platform (maybe soon some more) and some games are just stupid and other games are the kind of games that you play again and play again and play again... my questions is:
What makes a great game a great game?

1. Why do some games have that replayable effect and some don't?

2. How important is the integration of social network into games?

3. Stunning graphics - Very important or do simple graphics also do the job?

4. Is it important that the game has many functions and effects?

Let's see what the community has to say! How would you answer these questions?

Cheers,
-Fabian

1. Why do some games have that replayable effect and some don't?
Good plotline for some, but usually it's just that it hits that sweet spot where I'm not spending hours and hours and I still haven't passed the level, but I didn't finish the game in 5 minutes. Sometimes it's just simplicity of the game, it all depends on my mood.

2. How important is the integration of social network into games?
I dislike using social networking in games, unless they are multiplayer games, and I personally hate games that force you to hook up to social networks to play. It's fine to have it there but since i don't use it I want it optional and out of the way.

3. Stunning graphics - Very important or do simple graphics also do the job?
I'm not going to not play a game based on graphics unless the graphics are horrible. I won't pretend that I don't like better graphics better, but I don't care very much.

4. Is it important that the game has many functions and effects?
I'm not sure I understand the question...
