Mop it up:
From the original name of this topic and your first post, I get the feeling this was going to be something more specific, but then you decided to back out of it for some reason and make it more general...?

It was a trap, we all fell for it.

Yeah, it was. Much more artsy, introspective, and personal. But then I'm reminded of how I seem to "care" or at least get a little more worked up about the subject than other people on this board and I pulled back a bit.

For what it's worth, I saw the original subject and liked that approach more. :)

Well then, why not give it a shot?

I've always been interested in video games as an artistic medium. I know many people have argued otherwise, but the tactile, reaction-based nature of games pushes them into a different realm of entertainment, and I think that (as someone else has stated before, maybe Ian), as more people are brought up exposed to the medium, it will gradually gain a bit more acceptance as an art form and we might see this discussion rear its head once more.

But games don't have to be artistic masterpieces in order to resonate with a player. Indeed, there's titles that may succeed in one aspect that is immensely satisfying to a specific type of gamer which may not have the same effect on others. My example was Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door- a sequel with its fair share of flaws. You know what else has flaws? A Tale of Two Cities, man. So I ask you all- what is a game that has had an emotional impact on you, that may have changed your perception of video games? Maybe a title that made you reconsider the medium as something that was MORE than just purely enjoyable and perhaps emotionally fulfilling, or satisfying in another sense?

I can think of a few other examples, but I'll type them up later.
