my take on it:

A program is set of instructions followed by a computer.

Programs can be:

1. An App (short for application) is a long program, with frequently many features and options in carrying out a specific task, and is not a game.  

2. A utility which is a shorter program with a more limited and specific feature set, and is also not a game.

3. Game- a program for entertainment.

4. Driver -a program that allows hardware to function.

As the above suggests, i don't regard games as Apps or utilities.  Games belong in the own category of computer programs
