Videogames as Art

Posted by michael on from the de-gustibus dept.

Philip Kollar writes "AllRPG has just posted Games As Art, Part 2. In this article, I attempt to create a viable list of things that come together to make a videogame art, rather than just entertainment. I also explore how these three concepts (writing, design, and interactivity) have been used in other forms of media and how they're being further explored in the world of gaming."
