I'm agreeing with Sable here.

Like movies, Games don't' need to be considered art to be good, guys, come on. Plus, Walking Dead is not exactly a game in the same context as others games. It's an interactive story. You want art as games? indie Games come very close, and even then it's a 50/50 gamble on whether they are "Decent" let alone good. 

Video Games as Popcorn entertainment, as an emotional experience without the dumb "Message hollier than Thou" bullshit. They DONT need to be art. Not fully anyway, the OST, and the Designs can be considered art on their own merit, and that's good enough for me.
