DoFuss.net: Will Games Ever Make Us Cry?
Dofuss says: "Often when we talk about games being art we approach the subject in terms of definitions. People seem to forget that usually to the observer art elicits something more than a pragmatic break down of its construction. Unless specifically tasked to do so, I rarely look at a painting or listen to music and dissect it. I see the work in its entirety and feel the emotions it provokes.
When I approach a game it is in much the same way. Some parts of me will immediately assess it on a level of technical competence; but my reaction is emotional. The design aesthetic and the story it tells. It is the range of emotions that a game can elicit however than make the medium less versatile than most of its contemporises as an art form."
