This brings up a question that has been on my mind: what is the place of
games in interactive art? To what degree are they (can they be) art? What
aspects of a game can we look at artistically (graphics/sound, playability,
interactivity, or everything together)? Specific examples?
Just wondering what anyone has to say...
