First of all, absolutely! Think about what video games are comprised of: story line, music, animation, and participation. All of these things go into a game, and all of these things are considered art by themselves. So why is it then that when we put them all together...its not art?
I just read Henry Jenkins piece titled: Art Form from the Digital Age: Video Games shape our culutre. It's time we took them seriously.
It's a fantastic piece and he does a great job of looking at video games in a rhetorical fashion. What can video games do for us? Why cant they win art awards for being beautiful in storyline and gameplay?
Just a thought.
