Is making games an art?

This subject came out in the IRC, when I proposed TheLastArt as a new name for our community. The idea behind that was that making games could be considered a new form of art, especially considering how important a role visuals, music, design and all these factors play in modern games, which are not just about gameplay anymore.
Of course making games includes purely technical phases, think about programming them, but in my opinion these days the whole process has got more of an artistic activity than of a technical one.
What do you think?
