There are countless games that are a work of art, but compared to that? No, it's obviously inferior.

The real question should be is it valid art?

What do you think is the high point of gaming?

It is valid art for sure. I have analysed Little Nemo on the NES and it has deep symbolic meaning.

There are so many games it's hard to think of one for this right now.

However, the movie Once Upon in the West is an absolute masterpiece of a Western movie and one of the best films ever made. What's more, the score is still freaking amazing by the one and only Ennio Morricone (RIP).



John Wayne shouldn't have rejected Spaghetti Westerns because of that we never got a movie featuring John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. Still, Mr. Wayne was an incredible actor, too.

Yes, very gripping and fatalisitc. I would argue that movies are the highest form of art within mass media. Video games somehow have not reached this level of excellence.

I read Red Dead Redemption 2 is apparently an amazing Western game, but depressingly boring for the first few hours. Guess it has that John Wayne movie experience going for it.

The first Red Dead Redemption got me completely hooked up and the ending.. damn!
