Videogames are not high art yet. The problem is the medium. It takes a decent budget and skilled programmers, as well as creative staff and a competent director.

And then there is the question of input by the player and how that input might distort the creator's vision of the videogame. Would the end result be the true work of art, or would the creator's vision be that work?

Also, mundane things can be used as art, or in an artful fashion. Speed runs of Mario 3 (fake as they may be) reflect that perfect unattainable that people tend to admire.

Videogames are rewarding as hell to me. New gear in WoW is meaningless but cause for celebration nonetheless, perhaps for the reason that videogames these days are made with the player succeeding in mind, while real life discourages success.
