I was genuinely not referring directly to you but I felt my point followed logically from yours. I was more referring to the allusion of some posters (even the OP) that arty refers only to games like NMH, Madworld, Viewtiful Joe and Okami. I agree with you in that I think Metroid has awesome art but is not 'arty' in the way that people think of Viewtiful Joe as arty. I think that if Retro had lent their artists to HVS for Conduit they could have created a game that retains the same basic style, setting and atmosphere ("popcorn blockbuster" if you will) as The Conduit but with a much stronger and better graphical style than it currently has.
