Yes, art. Video games are art.
Graphical design is an art. Musical composition is an art. Story telling is an art. Even coding, in it's own way, is an art I would imagine.
Art is going above and beyond the practical. Art is defined by the artist.
It is not a requirement that you agree with or even wish to tolerate the subject matter for something to be art.
