The only objective way to rank games is through sales. Any other way of ranking games is purely subjective and impossible to actually resolve.
The thing about the 'Game as Art' movement is that it leads to 'auteur' games, where the developer basically just screws around and doesn't take the player into consideration at all. Sometimes this is successful like in MGS4, and sometimes it leads to total gormless messes like Too Human.
Think about it this way: What do you think of when you think of the word 'Art Film'? I know I think of a sad clown smoking a cigarrete in a dark room. Black and white. Five minutes later, the words "Fin" show up on the screen. I'm glad we have 'game as fun' people.
