From Massachusetts, Tanisha Pittman is currently enrolled in the Video Game design program at Full Sail University. This blog was originally created as an assignment for the class.

Since the introduction of video games as a medium, many have been inspired to debate this question: Are video games a form of art? Eric Zimmerman poses this question to us yet again, but in a slightly different light in his article, 'Games, stay away from art. Please'. Here he attempts to convince us of a single belief, one grand assertion: The classification of video games as art is an argument that no one wants and serves no purpose. This is because art is a subject based on personal taste and opinion. Further, video games are a category all of their own due to interactivity. However, reading the article shows that Zimmerman has some clear opinions of his own. In this blog, I will attempt to frame Zimmerman’s arguments without bias and make the original belief more clear.
