Heh. I bought an N64 a few years ago specifically to play Ocarina of Time. I think the depth and specificity of games can make it hard for them to have the universal appeal that we associate with great art. But there are plenty of games that were clearly taken seriously by their creators, at the very least, and which are thoughtful about exploring/developing some aspect of the human experience. For example: Bastion; Papers, Please; Cave Story; Never Alone; Amnesia; Gone Home; Year Walk. Are they "high art"? I suppose not. But do they have many of the same effects on their consumers? Absolutely.
