Do you consider games to be a work of art?

I consider some games to be art and some not. Take a game as epic as Twilight Princess--a work of art. It's tragic, awesome, scary, all while making good sense.



Grand Theft Auto? That is definitely not a work of art. Drug deliveries? Killing innocent people? And other stuff? ...Ummmm, not art.



Video games--art, or no?Do you consider games to be a work of art?
Video games are a work of art, but only some fall into this.



The games that I think fall into the category of being a work of art that are completely made up. With some games, they are set in New York City and California, where as the best games like Twilight Princess all have their made up places that do not exist. This is genius.



I see most of Nintendo's games a work of art because they are all made up and not based on real things. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Sonic? Genius!



Some are, some aren't. It's just a matter of finding the right ones.
Totally agree with you. The Zelda games make game design seem like just such an awesome job. And hey, the developers totally have to use art to create the characters and settings and such. But yeah... GTA isn't so much of what I would consider "art." lolDo you consider games to be a work of art?
GTA can be considered art....you're splashing ppl's blood around with a variety of weapons so u get different splatter techniques...Voila! Art!! lol
The Metal Gear series is proof that video games can indeed be called art.Do you consider games to be a work of art?
Art is what you want it to be, but I would say all games are art. It takes a lot of artistic skills and hard work to make any video game. When it comes to art, I think the worst thing to do is to say something is or is not art. Nobody has that authority. Of course, if you got 2 people and ask them to draw something, it's normal if one draws better than the other.
every game that has killing is art!!
I agree with u, u got a good point even though I love the gta series. But games like that are for lazy people. no offense.
I would consider it more a production than true art, but it takes an artistic bent to produce the vast array of scenery and character plots. Some are really terrific, some abstract, so in that sense, they may be called a form of art.
yes i agree with you Zelda is a work of art also dont forget okami i consider that game a work of art also GTA series are also art in some way like betrayal hatred and forgiveness
Yeahhhhhhh,games are like a totally new world with amazing graphics and beautiful nature that can be so life like.They can also be used for other ideas(basicly anything).
