Video games as art

Sotc

I am one of those gamers who firmly believes that games can be capable of what society would call “art”. I will admit that early video games like Pong or Tetris weren’t really very artistic but in these modern times I find it hard to believe how anyone could argue games aren’t capable of being artistic. Sure, you have your Duke Nukem and Call of Duty games which are the equivalent of your shallow blockbuster films but then you also have the likes of Shadow of the Colossus and Journey which in my opinion are the equivalent of The Godfather or Toy Story.

He also takes a look at the evolution of art in games from the Playstation 2’s Ico to the more recent games like Heavy Rain and The Last of Us. You can read his thoughts right HERE. Enjoy.
