When videogames are pure art and when they're not...

images are not an art,it's what an image contains what can be art
I would say Silent Hill 2 was also marvelous artistic work. The game's world was filled with symbolic meanings.
Everything represented something. The story was dark poetry.
One of the best games ever made. It wasn't just a game where you kill things.
So was ICO. The silence, the communication between the main characters, the sounds was poetry in motion.

love this post.
haven't played neither of those games in a long time, and by long time I mean ever. :/
That being said, Sam & Max art style reminds me of Larry Leisure Suit series. Btw, a new Larry game is on the works!

That's meme material...Spiderman is not bad either (NPCs on boats) :

Now I can't do it, but it could be the infamous meme about the dude with his girlfriend looking at another girl, like: the guy, the girlfriend with one of these faces, and the hot girl with the face of Spiderman.

Gotta say I hate these vector animations.
in the new Larry game, you mean?
They look like classic Larry to me. Love the series. Larry also had a strong female following. A female friend who was into me liked Larry games very much, for some reason. I thought only men would fancy them.
edit: since you mention vector animations, they might use SVG markup language to create those?

Those are what gave me some of the strongest emotional responses in games, so I'd definitely classify them as art.
Also REZ and Child of Eden, those were visual and aural pieces of art.
The Neverhood = Cult classic despite its many shortcomings
Armikrog (Neverhood spiritual successor) = Meh
Yes, times change.
Yeah, one of the best soundtracks ever in a game.
well, I don't totally agree. I say not totally, which means partially. The atmosphere and landscape of Skyrim is, imho, unbeaten, specially the representation of nature and the mountains, and more specifically the truly unique volumetric fog.
That being said, gotta admit that the artistic design can be imperfect, I am not a big fan of the dwemer levels, or the design of some weapons. But imho, nothing beats Skyrim, not even The Witcher 3 -though this one can get awfully close or even look better in some scenarios-.
