   if a messy bed is considered art then video games surely are as well.Although not all of them some are terrible as with all art forms.

   I don't think video games are art
   
   Go and look at the concept art on games such as Elder scrolls Oblivion and Final fantasy then rethink your comment. The art work on these games are fantastic. Before and after the final product

   It goes without saying that it can be viewed as art. It uses aesthetics in preparation (i.e background work in creating model thus requiring maybe drawing sculpture and design skills). If there can be art created on three-dimensional programs then it deserves the same status.
   
   I also request a halt on all comments being jokes about the point that just because of conceptual art works by such pieces of like Damien Hirst and Tracy Emin to name the most "popular". Conceptual art is very much a different medium to what games could be viewed as. Conceptual art requires the concept in the final piece to outweigh the aesthetics.
   
   One "witty" retort of this type is enough. Some of us wish to forget the Saatchi Gallery.

   yes this is art but its a new style of art. New techniques are used such as the use of a mouse and graphics tablet instead of paper and pencil. Infact some developers still put pencil to paper before they use thier own computer art designs.

   Surely if a pile of bricks, half a shark, and a house filled with cocrete constitute art, then this kind of creativity must be recognised and celebrated as art.
