I agree, a lot of the times it is hard to judge if something falls under the art category. But if they can have toilets in an art museum, but don't think video games are art, where do you draw the line. Ebert's point of view from what I heard is that he thinks because video games are interactive, they no longer are considered art. But look who he is, a critic. He likes movies but lacks the talent to make them. I therefore find his oppinion invalid.
