Video games aren't fun if they aren't shooters. I like some sports games but I know people who like sports don't like sports video games. I think sports games suffer from a lack of "happy medium" such as either too hard or too easy.

Also with games focusing more and more on online gaming, you'll see more shooters because those games are terrific to play against other people online. Also shooters factor in a lot of things that make games fun such as character building and open world gameplay. Though besides GTA, shooters are not really open-world. Borderlands is semi-open world.

Other than that I can't think of modern day console non-action game that is fun. If you like strategy based games, PC is definitely the way to go. Strategy games on consoles are horrible. I think it is because there are certain things you can do on games for PC that you can't do on games for consoles, the reverse is also I think.

As far as films, I think there are plenty of non-action films but I could be wrong.
