They used to be, but now they are just made with money first in mind. Whatever the market trend is, copy and cash in. Be it sports, FPS, zombies... The real vision is in the Indies these days

Commercial art is still art.

My definition for art form, is putting your heart into it and trying to make a masterpiece.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the passionate work of hundreds purely because money is a motivating factor. If an artist doesn't put forth heart and effort, then I doubt the artist will ever contribute to AAA game development.
