Cultural Tip

In most Spanish‑speaking countries *videojuego* is the standard term for ‘video game’. The phrase *un montón de* is informal and works well in casual conversation, but in formal writing you might prefer *muchos* or *una gran cantidad de*. Also note that *juego* can refer to board games or sports, so context (like mentioning ‘videojuegos’) clarifies the meaning.
