This always bothered me a little, as well. It's interesting that just about anyone who plays video games is labeled as "gamer," yet there is no specific label for someone who watches films or reads books. At that, terms like "film snob" or "book reader" seem to be reserved for those who spend most of their time dedicated to the specific activity. Whereas you're labeled as a gamer even if you play casually.
