Games like CoD don't take a lot of artistic value in to them. Sure, BO looks nice, but it doesn't have as much emotion as a game like Prince of Persia (08) or The Path.
There is nothing wrong with a game that is not artistic, they are just 2 different choices.
If you like, compare it to this; the photos you hang on your wall that you took with your camera, probably not all that artistic. The photos that a professional photographer takes, probably a bit more artistic (ya know, the kind where stuff is out of focus and colourful and all that).
I guess the nostalgia of taking the photo yourself is a whole other story...
