Yes, it would be interesting to work on the UI of a game -- I'm interested in all forms of interaction design and think as the lines between the mediums blur I may even get a chance at some point in the future! I don't think I have any skills in actual game (mechanic) design so can't see myself creating anything on my own though.

Yes -- I think it's inevitable that the medium of games will mature and we'll begin to see interactive narratives being used as much more than simply children's toys. Couldn’t agree more Robert.

From your posts it sounds like you might be interested in exploring game design a bit further. No reason you can't work with game designers on their UI or work on your own game while you do web design. Or push the boundaries of web design using javascript/html5/video/sound etc. - as browsers and JS engines become more powerful the line between game canvas and web canvas will blur. Great roundup and thanks for the links.

Either someone will create a catchy new name for 'games' that will disassociate it from child's play or, as you point out, emerging and aging designers will infuse the medium with 'adult' credibility. I see 'games' as just 3d temporal spaces that can simulate an unlimited number of situations - harnessing and heralding the potential via intuitive interface design sounds like a fun challenge for all of us.
