You can look at his blog post [a href="http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2010/04/video_games_can_never_be_art.html"]here.[/a]
So, what do you think about what he says in that post? Personally, I think that games are most certainly art; they have artistic visuals, orchestral soundtracks, and moving/deep stories (Persona 3's story is so deep that it could probably be republished as a work of literature as it is).
It seems to me that Ebert just refuses to accept the fact that a medium which once consisted of solely a bunch of little pixels running around for no purpose has evolved into a form of expression. He also basically says that because he doesn't like video games as much as books, music, movies, and paintings, they can't be art.
Your thoughts?
