“As a new entertainment medium, videogaming has the power to
engage intense, even obsessive attention. But are the
other-worldly, imaginative experiences videogames provide authentic
experiences of art? In this astute and compelling book, Grant
Tavinor shows how videogaming marks a genuine advance in the
history of artistic expression. No one interested in the future of
aesthetics can afford to ignore The Art of
Videogames.”

"Timely, sharp and thoroughly engaging. Equally informed by
philosophy and gameplay, Tavinor makes a compelling case that
game-designers would profit from engaging with philosophical
aesthetics and that philosophers who want to contribute to 21st
century aesthetics would do well to buy a PS3."
–Ian Ground, Senior Lecturer, University of
Sunderland
