Video Games as a Form of Art

[Psychospacecow]

The one thing that annoys me about this argument, is that I don't really know what art is defined as.

Art to me is a paining, or portrait. I understand it can be more than that, but I don't really know what to argue when it comes to this topic.

From what I can tell, a good video game is art. Metal Gear Solid, Super Mario 64, Legend of Zelda, and more can be considered art, but that's just me.

Trick is, its one of those things that no one can agree one, and that leads to a lot of stupidity. You get a lot of those who are in the artistic merit who shoot down anything that isn't already established. For the longest time, photography was not considered art. It really just narrows down to opinion and no one likes that.
