Oh, talking about art again: there're visual novels(mixed-media novels) which are considered an art form 'cos of the high quality CG artwork and excellent voice-acting in most of them and tastefully rendered sexual scenes in a number of them.
Some consider them as games 'cos many have features/qualities found in computer games like RTS, RPG, adventure/puzzle games, etc. while others don't as they're "digital novels" and thus, have little interactivity and freedom. And since, they're novels, it's like flipping through a picture book than through a largely animated world.
Sad to say, they aren't very popular outside of Japan 'cos lots of people hate reading anything apart from popular literature these days and many hate reading anything with more than 15 words, whether it be offline or on the computer. I heard lots of people hated Witcher 'cos of the amount of text in it and 'cos they preferred to let a game do the thinking for them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
