I like games withart violence...

Ahem. Seriously, I think video games are art on a couple of levels. First, it is art in the same sense that theater, TV and cinema are art. Second, it is art with function much like cars, furniture, etc. except its function is on a virtual level. Okay, this second one might be a bit of a stretch, but the fact that you interact with a video game via its user interface puts it into the form/function category too - at least in my mind.
