Grinding on the other hand typically describes doing something with no challenge, for the sake of gathering resources or equipment to use later.
In real life it's called 'work'.
I play games to have fun, like splashing zombies in L4D, or to go through interactive story (L.A. Noire). Or to be scared to death in a dark empty room of System Shock 2 where suddenly something jumps at you.
