Are Video Games Art?

[Madame Adequate]

Of course it can be, thats not saying all are, though.

That's like saying not all music is art. As the end result of a creative process, they are all art, whether you like to think so or not. As said before though, that doesn't mean it's all good. Whether or not something is good though has no bearing on whether or not it's art.

Thank you. I agree wholly. But people tend to have a positive connotation when they hear the word "art" and think of the Mona Lisa, Paradise Lost, and the Statue of Zeus, and it seems to many to be tacky to use the same word to describe those as to describe Fight Night, Transformers, and Harry Potter.
