Pretty good video, except for the mask :D. As for the topic, no question they are art!

GutZ313639d ago

Anything made by man, with much thought can be considered art.
If something as simple as a tool can be both a technology, and beautiful, it is art.

Games? They meet that criteria head on, and then some.

F4sterTh4nFTL3639d ago

Some are, but most games are just products being sold to make as much money as possible.

ironfist923639d ago

I agree with this. Most of its just cashing in on franchises, paying more attention to gameplay, graphics, and fanboy pandering than trying to portray something unique.

However games like Journey show that there are a few cases of interactive art.

solar3639d ago

why not? a chick queefing eggs full of paint is art by some sorta weird idea.

itisallaboutps3639d ago

Of course. Especially by the scenery they create and the atmosphere.

robtion3639d ago

Oh boy, here we go...

A better question, does it even matter?

Wni03639d ago

to quote the great alex turner

ofc it matters. you want videogames to be at the bottom of the arts?

yesah3639d ago

No, it doesn't matter. Art is just a word.

Wni03639d ago

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
