Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Oddworld, and don't forget Okami.

Basically any game can be art, it's just that some are more obviously pushing the boundaries.

Also: video games make use of a great many different artistic elements (graphical style, colour palette, sound and music, character design and interaction, storytelling, UI design, etc.) drawn together into a cohesive whole. If that isn't art, I don't know what is - especially since cinema does the exact same thing, but lacks any actual interactivity.
