Books are one dimensional. A Writer has to serialize his ideas into a string of words
Pictures are two dimensional. A Painter or Photographer communicates his idea by puttings colors on a flat canvas.
Movies are three dimensional. A Movie Director communicates his idea via a stream of images (or four dimensional if you count sound)
Games can have any number of dimensions. The communication of idea is not just one way, but it's a back-n-forth interaction between the world of the game and the player. It's a limitless medium that can be used to communicate very complex ideas.
