 Are Video Games Art?
Overall, I argue that while many video games probably should not be considered art, there are good reasons to think that some video games should be classified as art, and that the debates concerning the artistic status of chess and sports offer some insights into the status of video games.

My standards for considering a game semi-mythical are somewhat arbitrary; however, I may sometimes exclude games where nothing substantial is known at all, games that need more time to achieve the status, and games and variants that were discussed on the icehouse mailing list in sufficient detail to be playable.
