Many talented artists worked on these games. People like Ebert like to put thinks in boxes and define them as such and such. Boundaries are meant to be broken. This world is changing and art forms are changing as well.KapkaDesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358633444221402213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881688965843328912.post-88144489528796878612011-05-23T14:39:59.697-04:002011-05-23T14:39:59.697-04:00Video games look better than movies these days and...Video games look better than movies these days and Psychonauts is more artistic than anything I've seen in theaters this century.richgoldstein13https://www.blogger.com/profile/13024589882600654072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881688965843328912.post-21437099214647762092011-05-23T09:54:59.981-04:002011-05-23T09:54:59.981-04:00I just checked, and Ebert still believes they aren...I just checked, and Ebert still believes they aren't Art, though he feels bad for expressing this opinion publicly. So he hasn't changed his opinion at all - he just admits that it is uninformed. <br /><br />Quote: <b>"I declared as an axiom that video games can never be Art.

I loved that world. I kept a notebook and drew maps. I revisited some parts electively just because they were pretty and the sounds were hauntingly intoxicating.<br /><br />Some places in the Halo universe were also beautiful, although Myst was the first game to make me catch my breath.Mark Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16139203454027934003noreply@blogger.com
