How are video games and computer games different Are both written with computer programming languages

It is very hard to explain! Improve: Yes, they are both written in programming languages (code). The games for each console are written differently for each platform so that they will run properly on that system, which also prevents games from being run on other platforms. Hence you have to have an XBOX 360 to play XBOX360 games. Computer games can be written in different languages so long as they can run on different computers. EVERYTHING on any platform or computer is programmed to do what it does. Computer obviously have different input devices than consoles. Keyboard and mouse vs. A, B, X, Y; or Circle, Square, Triangle, and X, and a directional pad, shoulder buttons, etc. Although perhipheral gaming devices (controllers similar to console controllers) are available.
