Do you consider video games to be art?

I'm writing an essay on sociology. It requires a survey to be included. I'm posting this topic on several websites to conduct it. If you have the time and/or desire, please answer a few questions: 1) What is your attitude towards games? 2) What genres do you like? 3) Do you consider games to be art, and why? 4) Describe the criteria by which you evaluate games. 5) Name examples of games that you would call masterpieces.
