Nope, you're probably just wrong because people with monocles don't agree with you.

I think that everyone here is both giving too much validity to the inital statement, and spending too much time on this argument.
Games are art. It's not a statement about which is more artistic, or less a waste of time. Now how important they are as art or how much thought, passion, and time went into the art's creation are something possibly looking into.

Check out "There’s More to Gaming than Just Gaming" by Erica L. Van Ostrand in issue 7 of The Gamer's Quarter.

Depends on what you consider "high art" and how you want to argue it. There are a few museums which display videogames and videogame related items. It could be argued that this constitutes them as high art.

| A new museum in japan is putting on an exhibit of the japanese power of expression, and naturally this includes games. Game Watch has a small report of the section, complete with images. It's only running til the 4th, so if you're in japan and interested, now's the time to go. They have some playable stuff (including space invaders), but it's mostly just sterile stuff for looking at on white columns. Not quite as cool as the TV Game Museum we mentioned on July 17, 2004, but still rather nice. Thanks to shadowfamicom for mailing the link. |

| Guys what is "Art"? |
“conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements”
and
“human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature”

I thought Shakespeare's stuff was lowest common denominator, crowd pleasing stuff? |
It's funny how that ended up isn't it?

The Watchmen relies too heavily on standard text (lit format) as a crutch.
Watchmen fails!
(From Hell is a much better book by Moore)
