What is the role of randomness in the average video game?

In this analysis we'll take a look briefly at the philosophy of randomness, then spend most of our time looking at the ways that games choose to implement randomness, or RNG. We'll check out methods of implementation, calculation and revision, and the benefits that random elements can bring to the table to augment and improve existing game mechanics.
