As you've probably noticed, many of my posts aren't really about conventional art forms. Today, I was playing my Wii and I started thinking about how beautiful the graphics are on some of the games that I play. I'm a huge fan of Legend of Zelda, and in Twilight Princess, the scenery looks almost real. As your character swims underneath the water, the sunlight glances off the surface and ripples across the lake floor. Sometimes I get so captivated in the game that I think I'm watching a movie. The PS3 and Xbox are very competitive to get the highest definition in a game, and those really do play like movies. The graphics are so realistic that it's as if you are talking to and often killing real people. Many gamers get so sucked in that they will play for days. Videogames are becoming more beautifully created with every passing day. Soon, virtual reality will be a reality and people will not know the difference between a game and the real world, except that the game will be in HD.

Videogames as a form of art.

I completely agree with you. I play PC games and some of the games are getting to the point of bringing down even the most powerful computers (much much faster than xbox or ps3) to their knees.
