sure video games are art. anything that someone deeply appreciates can be condidered art. books, poetry, music, movies, videogames. this definition of art is also extended to sculptures and paintings, so i suppose any inanimate object could be called art.

Seeing Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, or The Path (adventure-horror version of Little red riding hood) it's hard to doubt that video games can be indeed artistic.

Well, yes, I consider Video-games a form of art, since art is anything you can put your creativity, heart and soul into, so I also consider movies art, and if a Videogame is not art, at least it's a reason to make art, I mean, Sprites, Concept Art, Fully Orchestrated Movies, Voice-Acting And so on.

I think that video games are a form of art, because like a painting, you have to paint the painting, and similarly, in video games, you have to put the pieces together, ending in a masterpiece, in both paintings and video games.

Now, if I were to take it apart, I'd ask for a definition of art beforehand, but I shall re4frain from that.

I do think they are art. All the thoughts and work that go into them, to program them to perfection; each game on its own is a piece of art. Some better, some worse, of course, but nonetheless, a work "crafted" by many, and how much effort was put in is evident.

And just like a painting or music, ultimately, each person interpretes the work in his or her own way

I'm kind of a fence case on this: SOME video games are art. The problem is it's new and kind of unconventional, so not a lot of people *treat* it like an art, including developers.

Let me break it down for you: Final Fantasy is art. Okami is art. Big Rigs and Action 52? Totally not art.

In order for anything to be artistic, you have to put effort and care into it. Even if you specialize in only one area, like the graphics or the controls, focus on making it good if not beautiful. Real art, IMO, portrays emotion and creativity. It does not let you drive trucks up mountains and through walls.

Sure it does, if there's a story and reason for driving through said walls
But yeah, I would tend to agree, there's not very much that's artistic about a game like GTA for example when compared to something like Castlevania.

Well, granted, you COULD conceivably do that, but what excuse does Big Rigs have? Inter-dimensional pizza delivery guy? XD

I would consider it art. If a movie or book is considered art then so is a video game. Movies and books contain stories, music, characters, special effects, and the take you somewhere special. A video game accomplishes all those while giving someone direct control of the art (at least in a way). I look at things considered "modern art" and I ask myself, "why is this art?" Video games are much more beautiful than some random sculpture that's been bent into an amoeba.

Video games are definitely a form of art. There are so many elements in these games. They have music, graphics, a story, characters, and more. Video games are mainly a form of art that deserves more than it gets.

I would say it is an extension of the creator's mind. Just like painting a picture, or creating music. If those are forms of art then why wouldn't video games be?

I believe that some games can be considered art, for example, XenoSaga I guess it all depends on how far you take the meaning of art, and the freedom of expression. I wouldn't consider games like grand theft auto art, but I suppose there are those who would argue it is. We're entitled to our own opinions, and art is about opinions and expression, so who am I to say what is and isn't art? I personally believe games are though, when done with good intent.

Video Games are art. In my open they are one of the highest forms of art. Painters paint scenes but video game creators are making whole interactive worlds along with music, character designs, I'd even go as far to say that the coding is a form of art.
