Video games and the arts are related very strongly. When you look at the production of a video game, from the conception, to the artistic sketches, and the writing, it involves everything else that we hold to a higher art form like movies or music. All these elements are incorporated in game making. That's not to say that every game that's made is art, but a lot of them really are, and a lot of them incorporate the same kind of skills and talents that other things that we view as artistic, and having artistic merit, have.
