Roger Ebert says video games can never be art

[amp316]

According to the criteria that makes up the definition of art, Ebert is right. He presented his case and proved his points effectively. There are rules to a game and this is what makes it a game. I liked his comparison of saying that what Michael Jordan did wasn't art. He used this example to show that regardless of how extraordinary "gaming" of any form might be, it is a game and tied to rules. He is correct and I didn't find anything that he said at all to be insulting to my favorite hobby.
