Are Games Art?
I've been wondering this question from a cultural perspective. I personally think that very few games could be considered art because they have no cultural values whatsoever. For instance, I'd consider Shenmue 1 and 2 art because they actually have a message and a story. I wouldn't consider a game like FarCry art because it was pointless and ultimately forgettable.
I don't consider a great deal of film or music to be art, mainly on the basis that it just exists because someone thought that "Return Of The Living Dead: Rave To The Grave" or any of Hulk Hogan's albums would be a great paycheck.
What do you think?
