Board 8 > What four video games are on the "Video Games are ART" Mount Rushmore?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

"Video games are ART"-specific rules: I am not looking for Mario Paint here so don't be cute, I know you kinda know what I mean here. I'm talking things that people would tweet at Roger Ebert when he said that video games are not art. Shadow of the Colossus is the one I know you're all thinking of.

I am NOT going to define what "art" is here but feel free to argue amongst yourselves. I'm going to throw out any obvious joke votes but I'm willing to hear arguments, so if you REALLY think Big Rigs is some kind of new-era expressionist masterpiece then please note that when voting otherwise it's getting tossed out.

This one has been pushed back multiple times because I don't really know if it will go over well or not, so try to have fun with it. I like these Rushmores that are super subjective and get a ton of variety in answers that shows people are really thinking about the subject.

YESTERDAY: HUGE come from behind victory for Medusa, who didn't get a vote until pretty late on the first page, then picked up momentum and blew past Odysseus and Poseidon, who she was briefly in a three-way tie with. Girl power! (Snake power?)

WTF answer: Honestly these are all pretty good but I did lol @ the one vote for Harpy. I don't think I have ever actually used "harpy" as an insult
