There's not really a best art form in my opinion (and I adore games). Sometimes you want a single one to be the only one, sometimes you don't feel like being the agent, you only want to be told a story, etc.
I think video games' volatility and ties to specific hardware and issues of bugs and technical problems hold them back from being the best medium.
Almost all other kinds of art are much more easily preserved in their original form and have more longevity and deliverance of artistic intent.
That's not the issue I think, there are also temporary art installations. And for games there's emulation.
