As I’ve explored the wintery, post-virus New York setting of The Division, I’ve been a bit trigger happy with my screenshot key as there has been some great artwork, warning messages and other assorted details that have caught my eye. A gallery of some of my favourite pieces follows. …
Are games art? I don’t know, probably?
But what about games about art – are they art, or are they games? I’m not sure about that one either. What about the art in games? Is a piece of art in a game still art?

Jesus, no wonder no-one likes to talk about this stuff, I’m confused already.
