It depends, my friend. I wouldn't consider Madden or Tony Hawk artistic endeavors, but rather just cash cow allowances. Hmmm...games like Bioshock and Call of Duty 4 I consider artistic not just by the artistic integrity implicated in the graphics alone, but also the stories they weave throughout (Call of Duty 4 almost made me cry just for the fact that their tales will go untold...their mighty valor and whatnot, etc., etc....Bioshock had me almost shit my pants for obvious reasons, lmao). But, yeah, I'm right there with you, Wiki, in your theory! But, man, some games...like The Club (piece of fuckin' shit game) kinda tarnish the artistic quality that video games as a whole have acquitted over the years.

Games have always been art, because they are a creative work. But there's a lot of bad art around. And a lot of bad video games.

Define "art".
