Well first you'd have to define "art", which is a whole can of pretentious worms that I hate opening, so I won't.

But you could definitely argue that games qualify as interactive art, which is a legitimate and recognized form of art. The only thing is there are a lot of fucking awful ass games all about the same thing (shooting dudes, stabbing dudes, punching dudes). Sorta like how comics are art, even though most of it caters to kids and manchilren and is about dudes in tights with superpowers.
