The art of video games

Into the Pixel is an online art exhibition that features art from video games. It will consist of 16 of the most beautiful images from all video games, published and not.

This is an excerpt from the Into the Pixel main page that I think represents the most articulate testimony to the place of game art in the larger scheme of generalist art:
Video Games are an influential aspect of pop-culture and entertainment whose impact goes beyond the digital arts to influence perspectives in art, cinematography, literature, and even fashion. Behind every game character and dynamic environment are artists whose talents birthed the image seen in the 3-D world.

The above picture is one of the submissions entitled Chicago Train Graveyard, from the game Stranglehold by Stephan Martiniere.
