Yes..thus the evolution of the definition of art. Any medium which expands the capabilities for art to be shown and to touch others expands the defintion. Videogames can touch people and have the same effect that a movie gives to a person today. Games can also confuse the mind and create the broad spectrum of emotions through art style and gameplay (again...Journey/SOCT). Art styles affect certain emotions. For instance, Nintendos art style is formulated to attract children or bring out your inner child if you're not a child.
