Seriously; there's no difference between film and video game design. Niek said it perfectly- one's active art, ones passive art.

I suppose I should change my statement: games can be art. However, game DESIGN is not an art. I think this perhaps makes more sense.

Why can't game design be an art? You're expressing your creativity.

I feel like I'm making art when I make websites.. I would imagine I'd feel the same if I were coding a game. The end result, depending on the type of website, could be very similar. :P

Well, I have to agree with Dantz. The act of making art is not art it is creation. The result however is art. And this goes for designing games, making websites, painting, sculpting and making a movie.

I would say that is creating the creative.
