I'm definitely not trying to belittle video games as a form of art. It definitely is, but all things considered it is an art form that is making advances in the area of improved graphics and engine physics while still riding a lot of the same worn out themes and concepts. You're talking about a mixed media art form that relies heavily on a combination of so many artistic elements: visual & graphic art, writing, cinematography, music production, et al. To be able to bring all of those elements together synergistically is an incredible challenge that many who are deeply exposed to the medium even take for granted.
