Roger Ebert has completely divested himself of any right to being respected as a critic.

Braid and SotC are great examples of beautiful art and art direction in games. He's obviously also never seen Prince of Persia, Uncharted nor any of the other titles since the first Mario World like Grim Fandango and Ico that have been constantly expanding the horizons of storytelling and human experience.

In short, he is entirely unqualified to judge.

As an Audio Director/Composer who works both in films and games, I can happily and unequivocally assure you, that the amount of painstaking thought and artistry put into the conception and realization of most AAA games far exceeds that of many films.

But then most new art forms throughout history have had to endure ignorance from people who fear change.

Word.

Also, what the hell woman. You have time to shoot videos but not get on AIM?
