If you think Windwalker or Pikmin are good examples then you haven't got a clue what I'm on about.

Sounds like you don't know what art is.

Maybe the photo options in those games aren't as good, or maybe they are just photos people took of the actual games. Either way they are art, just like the Infamous shots.

I know exactly what I'm talking about because I'm the person who's trying to define it in a way people can understand. You clearly don't understand what I'm saying so I've failed in my attempt.

I hate to say it, but perhaps you failed at your attempt because its not true. they haven't invented anything new. Its more likely that their level of graphics makes it seem more photo like or like the person taking the pohoto is putting more effort/art into it. But people have used video games in this way for a long time. Even using the halo example, it has been used to produce short film/comedies, many rpg have great screen shots taken that can look like photos too. not sure why this would be considered new. Games have had photo modes before, video modes, option to take pics with in game cameras etc. Yes its art, but nothing new.
