    The question of "What is Art?" is obviously a question that is going to have a lot of people debate on what the answer may be, but me personally I think the answer is I would look more at a magazine or a computer game than I wpould when it comes to a Picassso painting any day.

    I think that all these virtual games are a waste of time and think that if you really want to play a game on the net then by all measn do it, but when it comes to violance and things like that, thats when you should really consider if it is the right thing to be doing.

    Video games are like sulpture without marble, stone, ice, etc.
    Any one who says they're not art are truly blind! (Not to mention daft...)
