Was that from the show or the books?Axeli said:This always reminds me of a quote from Dexter:
[looks at a landscape painting of a cabin]
"That's not art, it's cottage porn"
IMO ? All of them. If these images (created by ?art departments?) were static and printed on paper, they would be considered art. Why should there be a difference? Okay so maybe games aren?t so much art as they are virtual museums where we get to interact with different art elements like graphics, story, music, and choreography. Either way, it?s art.
But if I had to be more strict and consider games as some sort of non-artform of entertainment like porn or some sports (though even that is arguable-especially when you consider that under Ebert's definition, porn can be art) , I would say any game made by Q Games or Q Entertainment.
I don?t know if the letter Q has anything to do with it but those games are art. Play Rez and Pixel Junk Eden, then try and argue.
What we should thank Ebert for is giving us reason to consider the debate as it has made us look at our games from a different perspective and that?s always good. Without his snobbery, we may have never given it thought.
