Your definition of art is extremely restrictive. The assertion that art can only function on a purely narrative, visual or dialogue based level in regards to games disregards one of the greatest strengths of gaming, interactivity. As mentioned above some of the best games ever created aren't exactly pieces of renaissance art in terms of visuals. I think the fact that games allow an interactive experience (as opposed to the sit back style of other mediums) is the mediums greatest strength.
However in terms of narrative, dialogue, philosophical themes and art style I'm going to recommend Planescape Torment to you. Its a pc game created by Black Isles that is essentially unsurpassed in regards to narrative and dialogue.
