Nice to see a bit of discussion of thinking about games. This approach is very similar to how literacy is taught (at the high school level). Not just being able to read, but to understand complicated writing and its motivations/intent/effectiveness. There's obviously some tricky differences, though. For one, each experience of a game is personalized by the choices made. Games can produce very similar experiences ("on rails" games) or very different experiences (a bad example but: playing WoW as one race vs. another can be quite different early on).
