The game that made you realize that a good game IS ART

[captainaweshum]

No surprise here from me, it would have to be Majoras Mask.

With that aside, the last game I played that was good enough for me to consider art would have been ME2.

Weigh in !

Bloody mother-trucking Okami!

*Ahem*

Yes, Okami, both its music and style are art in games at its finest.

 

[TheDuckbunny]

Super Mario Galaxy.

The pure embodiment of gaming, or so I think.

 

[delet]

Shadow of the Colossus.

I just love the landscape, the feeling of being alone, and the fact that it tells such an amazing story without barely telling any story.

A thousand times yes.

 

[Marter]

It has to be said, Shadow of the Colossus. Great game, and really was beautiful.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Shadow of the Colossus.

[Doctor What]

First half of Fahrenheit.

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Shadow of the Colossus or maybe God Hand.

portal..................but let me ask you something..........WHY DO ANOTHER FUCKING GAMES AS ART POST!!!!!

 

[Yoshemo]

Okami was beautiful.. Silent Hill 2 really made me view the world differently and is a masterpiece

I haven't, & don't think I ever will.

I don't 'get' art. I feel that most of the time it's just pictures of shit: a painting of a dude that's all in shades of yellow or something. Is it simply something that you think looks cool, or is it deeper?

Art is something you make. Something with meaning that can stir emotions in ways that ordinary objects can't. Music, paintings, even movies are art. Why not games?

oblivion, I actually cared about the game world and could stroll around with no other purpose than relax and look at the scenery.

In my mind it became art when you were happy to look at it for longer than the art on your wall. well after the game part was over.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Shadow of The Colossus. The feel, the environment, the design, everything. Loved everything about it, and it's art-sy level is high like the moon.

 

[zfactor]

I would go with Ocarina of Time, not Majora's Mask...

Don't get me wrong, they both kicked arse, but Ocarina of Time felt like it was made of slightly more awesome than Majora's Mask...

 

[AMMO Kid]

The Windwaker. I loved that game.

 

[Mr. Mike]

Well it's pretty much a given people are going to say Shadow of the Colossus. At least 2 people already have. And indeed, that's the game that made me think of games as art, even though I was too young to realise it when I first played it.

I haven't played it but it certainly looks amazing

 

[arcstone]

I can think of games that I may describe as quite artsy, as well as game that isn't.

I mainly view games as entertainment.
Isn't that enough?
