Are you acknowledging that I am right or are you being sarcastic? Your avatar tells me that it is the latter. If that is the case, argument how this that I have written is an opinion instead of trying to walk around the issue with seeing-you-from=above comments that have nothing to be backed up with.

Art is subjective. You can see PS360 games as art, as I can see Ninty games. I can see art when I look at the artwork in Skyward Sword, or the level desing on Metroi Prime, or the music in Super Mario Galaxy.

The only fact is that you can't come here to say that the art you see on other games is the only one. And please stop your art talking becuase this haven't any sense. This is entertainment and this is a real fact.

The only subjectivity in art lies in the its perceived values. That is why you guys can come here and say that the storylines in videogames are not well-written and the debate goes endless. But you will never be able to dismiss the existence of Fine Arts, Literary Art and Performing Arts.

You see aesthetics in those things but even if you can admire the way a plumber closes a leak with a tool while admiring his movements that won't make plumbing an art. Years back I went to a seminar at my University where this topic was discussed extensively. But don't feel bad if you cannot tell the difference between these two: aesthetics and art forms because even my Humanities professor brought up the discussion that he saw art in the way that, for example, Roberto Alomar swings the bat when he plays baseball, just to find out and realize that he was just admiring the aesthetic of it and couldn't argue that in itself it was an art.

In order to be a medium, an art form, you need to have a language and a unique technique through which you express or evoke feelings and ideas and some first parties and third parties from Sony and Microsoft are pushing videogames to have that unique language through the intereactivity of users with the videogames. Nintendo just entertain and even Sony and Microsoft have games with that purpose as well, but Nintendo is not doing any, nothing, no game to create such pieces of art that can evoke ideas and emotions beyond having some fun while playing it.
