Question:

Will video games ever be viewed as art rather than toys?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Video Games in themseleves are art. The code is created as an expression of the creator.. and the player of the game lives the experience just like somone watching a film.

Also, When I create my games I do a great deal of artwork for the in-game art and GUI.
