So...what about concept video games? Games made on flash with experimental gameplay that aren't necessarily a consumer product. Are those considered art then?

I think the problem here is overgeneralization. Generally, video games are products delivered to pay bills, but I think in certain context, certain video games can be considered art. You can say the same about the general photograph and general blockbuster movie too.

My girlfriend's been wanting a cooking game for a while. I can't wait until this comes out. If this isn't "the" cooking simulation game, it may spark another company (like Atlus or so) to really make an Iron Chef DS, wifi enabled, "create new recipes on the fly" kind of stuff.
