Actually, it's a necessary step. You want to get games recognized as art, people need to recognize games in the first place. And they need to be kept there. As in you want to go for artistic games, they need to still have mass appeal (like The Godfather, which even though I didn't like, is considered an artistic film and is wildly popular).
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
