It's a medium with near limitless potential, and in my opinion limited only by the technology presently available. The Wii changed the technology in the medium, and Natal could well jump this avenue forward even more. We've gone from games played on mainframes and arcade machines to ones on our cellphones and mp3 players. It is a medium growing into every aspect of our lives, and the video game industry has already surpassed Hollywood financially by about $20 billion and shows no signs of stopping. It's a brave new artistic world and all because of video games. Agreed, it’s sort of like being in a piece of kinetic art where you can actively change the piece.

I agree, Mr Ebert is stepping out of his area of expertise. But think about it, calling video games 'art' would be demeaning, they are so much more than mere art. They are art taken to the next level. Combining multiple avenues of artist/technical skills/talent, and satisfying/challenging/entertaining people, in ways movies never will. Well said, Nik.
