Okami, because it was like a freaking painting come to life, and Psychonauts, because I think humor can contribute to art.
Planescape: Torment, a bit of a weird choice and saturated with text but it was just a really awesome story.
i don't really consider video games to be so much about art as say a painting, but rather a larger scale with art included.
Games that have art i would have to say Starcraft and diablo , others like Ocarina of Time and Chrono Trigger/Cross would have some of my favourite art in them.
As for games that stir emotion in myself.
Only a few games have ever really made me feel anything while playing them
Earthbound
Chrono Trigger
Chrono Cross , i don't really get it now but at the time i got hooked on it, still love the music however
Theres a few others i can't recall right now.

Halo was the first game I played with a great story (and yes, Halo haters, it had a great story). Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was the first game to show me that many games had great stories. But the first game that really alerted me to games as art was Final Fantasy VII. Amazing story, amazing soundtrack, amazing character development... I love that game.
Though I will not, not only good games are art: bad games are art too. There is such thing as bad art. Video games in general are art, with some being good art and some being bad art. But they are all art.

Why oh why do I encourage these terribly redundant threads (yes it is redundant).
I have to say, I've always understood games are art, but there are games I consider more 'artistic' than others. For example, I found Okami artistic, Modern Warfare 2... not so much.

In a literal sense, Oblivion, because the world itself was large and beautiful.
In a less literal sense, the Starcraft 2 Beta, it's so well designed and thought out with countless possibilities and good graphics to boot.

You know, I think most people that grew up with video games just always accepted that they were. That's certainly the case with me.
If you had asked me if games were art when I was younger, I would have said yes, of course, just because I loved video games and I'd say anything to defend or support them, really. But if you asked me today, I'd still say yes, but with a much more earnest conviction.
