The games as art argument has always been weak. To me, the "art" of a game is how great it is as a total package. Super Mario Bros. 3 is a work of art because of just how fluid, smooth and perfect his movement feels. When you combine that with level design, art work, music... it's absolutely art.
Claiming the Last Guardian is artistic when it has less than stellar controls is accurate in the sense that it is, indeed, art. But it's inaccurate to say it's of higher quality than something that controls like butter. It SHOULD have gotten 7's because it was flawed in one aspect.
