Games as Art?

Are videogames art? Ico's emotional and environmental splendour certainly puts the case forward. And you can argue that others, such as Metroid Prime, Rez and Vib Ribbon are worthy art statements. But what about Myst IV? Ubisoft today announced a Myst based art exhibition at the County Hall Gallery, home of the Dali Universe. The exhibition will showcase artwork, sketches and other elements used to construct the forthcoming Myst IV: Revelation. But does Myst IV's undeniably pretty, but static, graphics, make it art? Surely it's interactivity that counts?
