Great artistic games you've played?

Hi all,

Long time no post! I just stopped writing new blogs after awhile, and haven't wanted to write anything new for awhile.

Anywho, I'm back working in the game industry. Things have been busy since the Game Developers Conference wrapped up, but it's about to get a whole lot crazier since E3's coming up. Hopefully I'll last through July! lol.

I thought I'd ask what really great artistic games everyone has played. I just recently finished Mirror's Edge, and was really impressed with its artistic sensibility. It's a flawed game, no doubt, and there are times of real frustration (especially if you try to beat it without using guns), but it's definitely worth experiencing. It's games like Mirror's Edge and Dead Space that, in my opinion, represent how far the video game medium has come, and why it can move the viewer/player in ways that books and movies can't.

So what about you? What games have made a big impact on you, in terms of its artistic strength?
