You can choose both, of course - that's what I usually hear. But I've also heard people saying that video-games can't reach the potential that a book or movie can, because they're not mature enough. While I don't agree, I'd like to hear your opinion on this.
Do you see video-games as a form of pure entertainment, without the need of an artistic purpose behind them, or do you think that video-games are, indeed, art?
