Are Games Art?

Grislygus, you feel very strongly about this lol. It's weird to think of something like a Jackson Pollock as art for me, mainly because it looks mostly like a retarded 4 year old threw paint on a canvas. I think that anything that could be considered art should actually have some sort of meaning behind it (One that does not require heavy doses of narcotics to figure out).

But then again, I loved Frankenhooker and Redneck Zombies so what do I fucking know about art? I don't believe that future societies will ever look back upon something like Manhunt or Soldier of Fortune and go "Wow, I wish I could create art like them!", I think that they might label us as barbarians and lunatics based on our media. I guess Super Mario will be the Jimi Hendrix of videogames in the future.
