:
I don't really think it's fair to say something has to emotionally move you to be considered high art. That's a pretty narrow view, as it automatically excludes all other emotions from being worth considering.

If it's a very well-crafted work, and it accomplishes what it sets out to do, then I'd say it's "good art"; even more so if it pushes boundaries and innovates (like Portal did with its portal game mechanic).
I agree. As I said in my post, Portal is good art, not high art.

Not sure how your first paragraph relates to the second one though.
