Re: Are computer games art, even to Canadians?
from an ebert "answer man" column:
"In countless e-mails and on a dozen message boards, I've found that most of the professionals involved in video games are intelligent and thoughtful people like yourself. A large number of the video game players, alas, tell me "you suck" or inform me that I am too old. At 63, I prefer such synonyms as "wise" and "experienced.""
FWIW, i tend to agree w/ Ebert. I think games contain art (i.e. the images, gameplay, etc), but the games themselves are probably not art. then again, this is from a guy who pretty much plays Mario Kart.
