These aren't mutually exclusive. Why aren't they art?
Because they are different elements put together to create a video game where one plays the game, not pays a cash amount to just sit and stare at the cover.
If a medium is made up almost entirely of artistic elements, how is it not art? Is a movie not art either? A movie consists of actors, scripts, props, effects in some cases, and a whole lot of effort just for someone to sit there and watch it for a couple of hours. What is it about games that make it different enough to not be art?
If we go that way then everything can be considered art because everything was designed by someone, a bridge was drawn up before construction so its art, cars where made by designers therefore art, it never ends.
To me games are made up from artist etc, but are not used for the intent that "art" is.
If you think its art then more power to you, but the only reason this has been brought up is because reviewers are calling DS things like frustrating, not fun, a slog etc, but need an excuse to score it highly, thus you are using things like art and saying he's created a new genre when we all know its BS.
To me video game art is when games come with extra features that allow you to look at some of the artwork used to create the game in a bonus menu within the game.
