i think that videogames are just like movies, cinema is art, but not all the movies are art. that's why we have a subgenre that it calls "art cinema" so, i think that is the same in videogames, there's some games that maybe we can call "art videogames" but also we have mario kart.
I would argue that mario kart is as much a work of art as any "art game." I'd also make the same arguement for films. Art of any kind doesn't have to be good, or prestigious, or "arty" to still be art.
yes, i'm agree with you, that's why i use mario kart as an example. cause it needs so much work in every area, and the results are just awesome, but in the end it will never be considered art.
