Like anything else in the world, games can be art. It's funny how my ideal choice example of games having the capabilities of being artistic - Silent Hill 2 - is always overlooked in lists full of pap like Braid or fucking Flower.
Also, it's hilarious how Shake was vouching for Britney Spears and Ke$ha being "art" the other day and giving me guff when they flat out say that "games aren't art".
You and your double standards. Or should we say, extremely low standards.
Then again, I don't like getting into the "games are art" discussions because they're mostly just full of losers who aren't arguing for arts sake, but for the own ridiculous validation of their hobby so that their relatives don't make fun of them.
