Would you agree that video games are the ultimate form of art?

I am going to be a game and art designer and hopefully direct and create my own video game one day. Think about it

1. Music. Video games contain music, sounds and instrumentals that can't be found on just any radio station.

2. Writing is of course used and I've played games that have humorous dialogue and intriguing plots.

3. Philosophy and morality. Philosophical concepts are often brought up in video games. From religion to different origins of the universe as well as morality.

4. Interaction and thought. It involves the player's own opinions at times. You are sometimes given a choice if not at least once, to choose want you want to do.

5. Art. None other than the beautiful animation and level design that makes real life look like crap.

6. Programming. Any of your technical artists behind the scenes sometimes use their own skills to put little secrets in the game that make you laugh, say wtf, or just love the game even more

7. Acting. Voice actors and other actors that are used for special effects are used to make things more realistic and give voice to the characters they play.

8. Inspiration. I and many others, have been inspired to help create more video games and maybe have just been inspired by the concepts within them that in a way help us know more about ourselves.

I'm sure there is other things I haven't said that are great about games too so feel free to add what you think video games offer.Would you agree that video games are the ultimate form of art?
I agree. In a certain sense, they have also replaced Hollywood.Would you agree that video games are the ultimate form of art?
Art? Undoubtedly.

Ultimate form of art? I wouldn't go that far. It's a virtual experience, and a directed one.

The ultimate form of art is life itself.Would you agree that video games are the ultimate form of art?
You just answered your own question. :) And I agree with you.
