It is great that Video Games are getting respect, but are the games misrepresenting themselves to get this respect? I think there’s always some sort of reference to the older, more established medium, but are we going to hear “the movie is better than the game” the same way people say that “the book is better than the movie?”

Games are different, the same way comics are different from movies and books, and they should be respected for what they are. By that token, though, I firmly believe that video games are art. All games aren’t high art, the same way movies aren’t… as Mr. Blart the mall cop will attest, but there are games that are truly great pieces of art that use the tools of the medium to its fullest extent. Whether it be great gameplay, graphics, story, sound, or simply fun factor games kick ass.

i think this is the most respect ever afforded a video game by the movie biz/critics powers-that-be. im curious to see how it goes over with them. will they all be nose-up-in-the-air lameos like ebert, or will they finally be forced to admit that video games are worthy of “serious” attention?
