I just finished replaying the first Monkey Island, so this article really means a lot to me, i can't agree with Roger Ebert's opinion on this one.
I grew up playing Monkey Island and others extremely artistical games, like Grim Fandango, and other non-adventure games like Mafia. I'm still an avid PC gamer, and i keep finding new artistical games on the platform, like Machinarium and Winterbottom. Even the recent released Dark Void Zero, which has an 8 bits style on purpose, is an example of art in games.
I don't know if every game can be classified as art, since this same argument happens with the movies, but how can i specify some artistical games, if there's no art in games? Sorry Roger Ebert, but you can't answer this.
ps: sorry for my english, i'm non native english speaker.
