3. Shadow of the Colossus
Damn... can I just steal Khuutra's post ? No you say? Hmmm... okay :/
Then let me say this... When I'm driving in my car, jogging outside, walking around my university or basically travelling in general... I sometimes start to think about Shadow of the Colossus. I day dream if you will. These episodes start out just imagining as though I was in The Forbidden Lands. I start tuning out the world and listen for the quietness of SotC. Soon, things evolve to the point where I'm trekking towards a mammoth colossus off into the distance. The more I walk, the closer I get. Until, finally, I'm upon the giant beast. Then? ...Then it's over. I'm where I need to be and the journey ends.
This is normal behavior isn't it? No? Well dammit, I must be crazy! 
But I guess that speaks volumes about the game if it makes a crazy man experience an epic journey from time to time. Since the whole Ebert incident, a question has loomed... are video games art? Or better yet, can video games even be art? When this subject is brought up, Shadows is almost immediately added to the discussion. So is this game art? IDK what other people define as art. I have the opinion that art is subjective as is the very criteria for art. So everyone will have a differing opinion about this game. Hell, some people don't even like Shadows! But to me, If something can pull you in soooo deep that YOU start living the painting or game or whatever, then yes. IMO, whatever that thing is... it is art.
And with that said, I think Shadow of the Colossus is art.
