This debate is one that, although not always talked about, is very important to most gamers. Some argue that Video Games can never be art and are only good for recreation. Meanwhile most gamers feel that games are art and that they should be treated as such. What's your view? Are games art? What games can be considered art?

Of course video games are art. What is the definition of art? According to Dictionary.com: the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance. Video games have very beautiful scenes, aspects, storylines, et cetera within them. Moreso, they hold a lot of symbolism for our own world. They cannot be anything but a model of one's imagination, as is a painting. So how could one differentiate between them?

I agree with Rommy. I mean, anything created is art. Just because it's not in the image associated with art [think people like Da Vinci or older artists] doesn't mean that it isn't art. One of the things that I find most appealing in games is the art style of the games. Without them, there weren't be much to look at. A game can have a great feel to it, it can have a great back story or a great music track, but it should also have a great back drop and art style.

Okay. Now lets do what Game Informer did for their argument. Find one video game and give a detailed description as to why it is art.

Like I said, this is what Game Informer did. Okay, so don't post like page long descriptions like GI did but do have a little something to talk about. I'll even throw one of my games in (When I get to it)
