Stop proclaiming specific video games as art, it undermines the premise that the video game is an art form.

Fine to proclaim that SMG2 is one of the finest examples of video game artistry, because that supports the basic premise of video games are art. Or that SMG2 is a prime example of why video games are art. But saying a particular game "should be considered art" is tantamount to saying that most video games are not, and that only a select few can achieve the high status of being proclaimed a work of art.

SMG2 is a video game, ergo it is art. Simple.
