Do you think the video game is an art?

I've had this discussion with some iends recently, they say video games are art, but I don`t agree with that. What do you people think?Do you think the video game is an art?
Yes, Video games take skill. Art takes skill therfore..it is a form of art.
The dedication and skill taken puts it at an art form, not to mention all the time taken to make the game, if the player is not the artist then it's the desinger, like English is an art, so is cooking.

Do you think the video game is an art?
It's like the difference between erotic art and pornography. You can tell by looking at them side by side, some are art, some are just pictures of nekkid folks doin it. If you spend enough time around video games, the stories, general feel, visual aspects, etc will stand out on some of them. That's when it's art. Just because you're able to interact with it doesn't make it less valid.
Yes, just think of how much effort, time and creativeness it takes to make the art, graphics, story and gameplay.Do you think the video game is an art?
No,there's no aesthetics in playing,just social pleasure.period.
They can be when done right, like movies.
I guess anything that engulfs the life of chubby/zitty twelve year olds to the point of social alienation deserves further examination.
Of course they are art! Just look at all the marvelous details and graphics that go into them. This takes a lot of hard work and dedication.
Playing a game is definately not an art, but creating one IS.
no...
depends what you mean
I would say that video games are definatley an art form just as much as a movie is. video games infact encompass many different art forms such as Composers, Musicians, Artists, Graphic Artists, Voice Actors, and Writers. I would most definately say that it is an art form.
yeah it is in a way .... look at the details in the games
of course it is art look at how much work and creativity goes into creating a game, and the ideas are art to begin with then someone draws the concept of the game then someone has to create a story line i mean the whole process is just amazing
I personally do not fill that the video game is an art. It takes a lot of technology to make a video game and again the game is part of developing logic and more or less played with mind, where as the art is totally different. Art is the expression of an individual that usually comes from heart and it has nothing to do with the mond or logic. so videogame is not an art.
yes"of course its created by an imagination is a part of arts
Art is defined as anything which is created by a person which is asthetically pleasing. Theoretically most things are art. If you take a bicycle it is art as someone took the time to design it and make it look pleasing to the buyer. Computer games are an art form as they are carefully designed and scripted by artists and graphic designers before being programmed.
Sure it is. Why would you think it was not an art form. Art can be interpreted in numerous ways. Just as a paper bag floating in the breeze could be considered art.
