Overview
Are video games a form of art? Naturally, both sides of this question are viable, but for now, let's stick to why they ARE art:

The process of creating video games has admittedly become much more complex since its inception. So perhaps it is fair to say that original DOS games were not quite art, but many modern games do constitute art. Games that are currently designed rely on much more than graphics in order to sell/achieve popularity over an extended period of time. Rather, many of these games base adventures off of stories, which can often lead to multiple "endings" rather than a designated "win." Other games rely on familiarity with the subject (whether that is a sports tournament or a movie) to pique user interest. Other games, like the Super Mario Brothers franchise, pose a different status within this group of games. These games now have a distinctive story and characters that draw users back again and again, but it has been building off itself for many years, with different incarnations utilizing the same character set over and over again. This is the art of narrative rather than the art of the visual, though the visual techniques employed in the most recent games are certainly nothing to be scoffed at.
