For me, personally, I think one of the best examples of a video games being a piece of literature is the video game called Journey. The game has no dialogue aside from the beeps and chimes that your character can play, but it has all of the elements of a really good thriller book.
There is excellent pacing, as well as choice pieces of game play that only reveal small things about the backstory and plot as you go along, as well as stunning visuals and music that really pulls you into the game.
I feel that Journey can both be a literary experience, as well as being a movie of sorts, but definitely a work of art.
