Books, plays, poems, songs (can be), short stories. They're all literature. Graphic novels are too, I think.
Films are not because the dialogue is not the most important thing. Films are a different art form.
Video games are not for the same reason.
Newspapers and non-fiction are not literature because they're not about creativity. They're about truth (or are supposed to be
).

I'm inclined to believe literary novels are RPG texts for solo play.

roleplaying CAN be literary, if you want to put the effort into it; depends on the players and GM
