Before he died he also wrote an article staking his position that video games are not a legitimate art form. That doesn't necessarily mean he hated games or would never play one, but it does make it somewhat odd to see a list like this on a site bearing his name.

It's a shame because I generally agreed with most of Ebert's opinions and still miss him as a taste guide for getting an idea of what movies are worth my time. But video games can definitely be art.

Roger Ebert also wrote an article staking his position that Star Wars Episode 1 deserved 3½ out of 4 stars, which makes it somewhat odd to see a website bear his name at all.
