DANG RIGHT GAMES ARE ART! honestly I say, how dare anyone without any remote experiance in the gaming world (the same people who condemn it) take it upon themselves to assume such a thing. It personally disgusts me. I spent a year in the Game Art program at the Art Institute, and You can NOT tell me that the instructors that I met from the industry weren't serious, passionate artists, and they're work was gorgeous I have friends that are well on their way to success in that field still at that school, they're work is amazing, and with all the hard wrok they put into it, one would take their life in their hands if they ever dared stick their nose up at their or any respectable artist in the video game feild in front of me. - ...and I'm ranting, sorry, MAJOR hot-button issue with me, long story short, for me, insult game art = Personally insulting me, my friends, and many of my favorite instructors.
Portal and Fallout are definite artworks. One that was overlooked though might be Fatal Frame. Creepy as hell and questions the sanity of humans while looking at the inhumane practice of torture. But just looking at Psychonauts, I thought about Damon Albarn meets FLCL wrapped up in a Sigmund Freud taco wrap and cooked at a thousand degrees. Yeah, that's what I saw.
