Anyone who asserts video games cannot be art demonstrates a poor grasp of at least one of the two.

I maintain that there is no sensible definition of "art" which could encompass movies but not video games.

EDIT: More to the point, who fucking cares if it's art or not? People tend to turn up their noses at it as "not art" as a way of dismissing it as not worthwhile, as if they're better than people who play because they're doing something more important with their lives. Fuck off, no you aren't. And fun is worthwhile regardless of "artistic" merit.

I'll be going back through and highlighting the ones we'll almost certainly get to before too long. If there's anything left off the list entirely you think deserves attention, or you have a burning desire for a commentary that doesn't wind up highlighted, let us know.
