If the game is just a delivery mechanism for "art" (like the music or visual design or whatever), then the game itself is not art any more than an art gallery is art. I've always held that games can be art as games and not just as packages of visuals and audio. Because the act of playing the game can be affective. Like when you had to burn the companion cube in Portal. That kind of experience can't be conveyed in other forms of art.
