Summary
"Video games are the pre-eminent art form of this century," Brock Henderson, video game developer and designer, said.
Video games are an art that can tell amazing stories like no other medium can. The Entertainment Software Association calculated that more than 66% of Americans play video games - that's more than 200 million people in the United States alone. Video games have evolved from a simple pastime to be spent with friends. "Video games are a unique form of media, and shouldn't be discounted. Video games are a fine art."
Video games can contain orchestral scores from composers, they can tell engaging stories like a film and they can create beautiful pieces of art while still providing engaging gameplay. Joey Gorski, lab instructor in Taylor's computer science and engineering department, has been playing video games since the early 2000s, and his love for the artistry in games is clear.
