Merriam Webster's definition of art:
"Something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings".
Yes, I think games can certainly fall under that category. There are unquestionably artistic elements in many games, but even the programming finesse that goes into the gameplay can be viewed as artistic.
Now, tell your GF to call her professor a stupid-head.
