Regarding Roger Ebert’s “Video games can never be art”

Roger Ebert’s recent article is strange, because you’d think in order to call something non-art, you’d have to experience the subject in its medium. His critique reads like an article about movies written by someone who maintains a disdain for them based on screenshots and trailers. Although I think he has a point about the oddness of the whole debate, it would lend more credibility to his argument if he actually played the games in question.
