Original
Artistic modifications are frequently made possible through the use of level editors, though other techniques exist. Some artists make use ofmachinima applications to produce non-interactive animated artworks, however artistic modification is not synonymous with machinima as these form only a small proportion of artistic modifications.[citation needed] Machinima is distinct from art mods as it relies on different tools, though there are many similarities with some art mods.[citation needed]

Like video games, artistic game modifications are often interactive and may allow for single-player or multiplayer experience. Multiplayer works make use of networked environments to develop new kinds of interaction and collaborative art production.

Revised
Artistic modifications are frequently made possible through the use of digital mediums such as level editors. However, this is not the only technique to use when it comes to producing videogame art. Several artists make use of the Machinima applications to produce non-interactive animated products of art. It should be noted that Machinima is not synonymous with artistic modification as Machinima only forms a small proportion of artistic modifications.

Like the vast majority of videogames, artistic game modifications are often interactive and may allow for single-player or multiplayer experience. Many multiplayer works have made use of networked environments to develop new kinds of interaction and collaborative art production.

Criticism
Several art critics have conceded that videogames are a form of art since digital and traditional media were juxtaposed. However, several critics remain steadfast in their opinions that art remains a product of traditional media and expression. Critics like Henry Jenkins are in favor for the recognition of videogames being a form of art whereas critics like LeRoy Nieman consider videogames to not be serious enough to be on the same level as art.
