Why are gamers so intensely concerned, anyway, that games be defined as art? Bobby Fischer, Michael Jordan and Dick Butkus never said they thought their games were an art form. Nor did Shi Hua Chen, winner of the $500,000 World Series of Mah Jong in 2009. Why aren't gamers content to play their games and simply enjoy themselves? They have my blessing, not that they care.
Do they require validation? In defending their gaming against parents, spouses, children, partners, co-workers or other critics, do they want to be able to look up from the screen and explain, "I'm studying a great form of art?" Then let them say it, if it makes them happy.

It’s always fun when you know entire game definitely after someone thought of the title.
I have never seen a game throughly undercut itself this hard right at the finish line.
Jesus christ my fingers hurt.
God Sonic team uesed to be so good. Incredibly polished level and creative levels. Like in the genisis sonic games there is a real sense of showmanship here. The style and presentation are perfection.
