Main article: Video game See also: art games

There is a debate in the games industry, academia and video game culture regarding the stature of games as a fine art. Film critic Roger Ebert once has argued that games can never be art, as he claimed they lack the authorial control seen in film, and leave too much up to choice. However, he later stated that he was too unfamiliar with video games to judge them, although he still wasn't convinced at the time that video games are art. Nevertleless, as of 2012, he is open to the possibility that video games are art.

Famous quotes containing the word games:

    The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.
    Chinese proverb.

    Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
    Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
    Before their plays and games were organized,
    They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
    And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
