Persuasive Games: Videogame Vignette by Ian Bogost

The Arty Party
I really liked this piece; it throws the discussion of "are games art" on its ear by asking the more fundamental question -- what does that even mean? People give it a lot of lip service but I don't think a lot of critical thinking has really been done on the topic, or at least, not that I've read!
