Case in point-
The first time I played a video game, and saw it as art was Metal Gear Solid. The way things are revealed, and the power behind some of the events is amazing. The one that really got me is when, after fighting the Ninja, Snake realizes it was an old friend of his, who he'd fought with and against in the past. He finally realized that this mysterious enemy is one of his few friends, but the Ninja didn't really know who he was himself. Something about that gets to me.
