best example of a game that you could call "art"

[orangebandguy]

XIII, TF2, Borderlands and Timesplitters 2. Amazing art styles.

 

[Jenniphurr]

Okami, and Shadow of the Colossus are very worthy contenders. but ill also add Odin Sphere and Psychonauts.

 

[War Penguin]

Wow, no one said Braid yet? Huh.
So, yeah... Braid.

 

[ilion]

planescape torment for one of the finest, most engaging stories i ever encountered.

agreed. also silent hill and thief dark project, max payne and panzer dragoon saga.

 

[dodo1331]

Psychonauts and Shining Force 1 and 2.

 

[SnipErlite]

Braid
Ico
Shadow of the Colossus

Wow, no one said Braid yet? Huh.

Yeah I was expecting more people to mention it, it really is art

=]

 

[Gamurga]

Shadow of the Colossus

...and pretty much anything that Team Ico makes.

you are correct, sir.
I'd also go with Silent Hill 2.

 

[T-Bone24]

Okami.

The art style, the storyline, the music is all beautiful.

 

[Argtee]

KOTOR

Elde Scrolls III: Morrowind

That's all I can think of at the moment.

 

[Abedeus]

XIII, TF2, Borderlands and Timesplitters 2. Amazing art styles.

Yeah... I so wish I could play Timesplitters on PC. I watched some cutscenes and they were incredibly funny and cool.

But also Psychonauts and Beyond Good and Evil. Fighting the evil invaders and corruption with a stick, camera, a high-tech Paladin and a pig with farting shoes?

Wow, no one said Braid yet? Huh.
So, yeah... Braid.

Boooring.

 

[Captain Pancake]

nobody said half life 2 yet? I expect I may be slightly flamed for stating something so obvious.

 

[Stabber1010]

I'd also go with Silent Hill 2.

Understatement.

 

[Spitfire175]

In terms of "artsy style", borderlands and bioshock get kudos.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Mario Paint

Or that Castlevania, sorta dark gothic look

 

[Hayday]

Halo 3 - level gravemind. The background was literally concept art :/

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Shadow of The Colossus, Bioshock, and Okami.

 

[PapaMetaxa]

Wow, no one said Braid yet? Huh.
So, yeah... Braid.

Wow, no one said REZ yet? Huh. So, yeah... REZ. Just because I am nothing without my REZ. Synesthesia rules! Gameplay/Art.

 

[Disaster Button]

Bioshock and Portal becausr they both play like they're books.. if you know what I mean.

They have good storylines, compelling characters, a plot, mystery, twists slash turns and everything that makes reading a book good. They also look like what you'd imagine if reading a book.
