Games as Art

« on: August 14, 2007, 09:03:23 AM »

Hey everyone, I was just wondering what all of you thought of about the common contention of "games as art" argument...I for one think that games are totally underrated in terms of considering a video game art. I believe that there are many games out there (especially indie games) that could be considered art (Samorost to name one). So, what are your feelings on games as a potential art form? What games would you consider to be "art"?

Yeah, it's a good enough topic I guess, it's just been done a lot especially recently. It's a pointless discussion IMO as everyone's got a different definition of what art is.
