Abstract
The cultural status of the game is always compared with the various area of art, and this discussion is continuing from appearance of the game to the present. During the same period, the cultural influence of the game is gradually increased, but public awareness was significantly undervalued the artistic value of the game. So, the change in this evaluation is needed in order to constantly maintain a cultural influence and to provide a positive influence on our society. Therefore, it is required that the research to prove their aesthetic value in the viewpoint of the game. This paper explores the new aesthetic potential of the game through a discussion of various similarities and the relationship between games and art. We look at the views on the game from the artistic point of view through game art and art game. And it find out the aesthetic subject and value of game. Finally, the approach through features of the information aesthetics and the generative aesthetics helps your understanding of the game aesthetics.
