Art that Only Works as a Game

Some people try to argue about games being art and whatnot. Here's games that I would argue approach this from the other direction. They use the medium of games to craft truly unique experiences that are only possible within games. Any cinematic game experience that doesn't take full advantage of games as an interactive medium doesn't belong on this list.
