What games do you think of when you think of video games as art?
Disclaimer: Sorry if it sounds like I'm being a dead horse or trolling, not my intention. Also not my intention to argue if video games are art, that is the other thread.
I just want to know what games or genres spring to mind when you are discussing it. I saw Shadows of the Colossus was brought up a lot, and so were fighting games. How many of you were thinking of games like say Peggle or Oregon Trail? Just curious is all. |
Bioshock is probably the first game that comes to mind for me.
|
Street Fighter, just look at it
|
LOL, no.
|
I mean that is ok, it just is funny to me.
|
Assassin's Creed?
|
I don't know which thread to put this in...might post it in both. Anyhow one thing I think of is like RTS games and turn based strategie games (TBS games looked wierd) are always commented on that they play like a spreadsheet. Speaking as an accountant that likes the Civ series and is working on a spreadsheet currently, those are tools, not art. And if a game plays like a tool, it is hard to say it is art. Which is why I keep saying the media as a whole is not art. But a game might be.

Off the top of my head, can only think of Limbo and "Today I Die Again..."
|
That is what I'm asking, the very first one that comes to your head, you know like word recognition.

Okami
|
Katamari Damacy
|
Mario Paint.
|
pong
|
reboot :shifty:
|
A lot of the "hand drawn" or cell shaded games would count since they mimic regular art styles like Legend of Zelda Wind Waker.

Muramasa was absolutely gorgeous.
Also, I'll second Limbo, and I'll throw in Heavy Rain as well. |
Missile Command. Think about it.
|
Braid on xbl. Also, shadow of the colossus and ico
|
|
Fight Night Round 4 is one of the few games that has ever had me just marvel at the details of the graphics. Not a smart thing to do in a boxing game though.
|
Tetris.
