Game developer ponders whether art can ever be as good as games
The question of whether games can be considered art is an ongoing debate, but one developer wonders whether the question should actually be the other way around. In arefreshingly satirical look at the question, Sophie Houlden turns the tables by describing her inability to really understand art because it lacks many of gaming's most important characteristics. "I won't deny that my wall looks more interesting now that I put an art on it," she writes, "but does art compare to games?" Be sure to check out the source link below to find out the answer.

I don't think the article is meant to be taken really seriously. It sure is an interesting read. It's kind of cool to turn the question back to people who deny the fact that games can be art. Also i sometimes have trouble really understanding art paintings and more specifically abstract art. So what you guys think.
