Are video games art?

BDC, do you consider film, as a genre, art? If so it's through story telling and invoking question and thought.

I'd be shocked if you said no, so I'll just follow the question up with my rebuttal. Art can be many things. It can be in audio format, visual format, in the form of a taste. In MY opinion art is something that stimulates the senses and thought processes at the same time. It can tell a story. It may or may not have a clear focal point. It may be obvious or subtle. In this sense I would have to say that yes, video games can be art.
