Do you think video games are art?

Games like Bioshock and Limbo are prime examples of artistic visions that are portrayed greatly. Do you think that games can be art?Do you think video games are art?
While it's true that video games are a much newer medium, that does not necessarily prevent them from being art. It's similar to movies, or to paintings/drawings/etc. Not every movie is art, nor is every painting a classic. Similarly, the majority of games are not art. However, games can be art. Many games like Bioshock, Limbo, Shadow of the Colossus, and Flower are very touching, deep, and emotional. Others may be too stubborn to believe it, but that's because they have never experienced the art of some games.
yes art is expression using origanal ideas that were never thought of before i actually think video games are a big fusion all the arts Photos or Animation, Music, interesting storys and gameplay ideas that can be very unique. I think the new games sonic colors and limbo are good examples i mean just both amazing ideas all both origanal like ART! limbo even looks like a moving painting sonic colors is art to me because its stages are unique in one you race around a burger the whole time! who would think of that!!! mario is art because it was a revolutionary and unique idea and that is why video games ARE ART!!Do you think video games are art?
yes, i strongly think they can.



many games can stir emotion by using great art direction and music to create "art".so yes,in my opinion,it can viewed as an art form



Great question by the way. :D
nahh i think of video games as a task or an adventure....you go through all the stages and unlock it all...so its not art art its something a little different...but if your talking about the graphics and the characters thats something totally differentDo you think video games are art?
It depends. For a game to be artistic I think it has to be well thought out, have a great story, and good music. One game I consider art is Final Fantasy X for it's amazing storyline, great music, and pure beauty - and since it's my most favorite game ever.
totally man, im'a gamer and with the HD of the PS3 and over all graphic bang that has happened it's miles better art than some of the weird crap i see in 'art' museums
not entirely, because video games are still young and are still evolving as a medium. some can be, if it was intended that way.
no
