Ebert's an idiot. Tons of games are plot driven, not player choice based. Even if its not plot driven, that doesn't persay make it less of a work. I don't even care what he says about movies, much less any field he has low-to-no expierance in.
Anthropology says: Unique human ability, tied in with symbology. Creative use of the human imagination to interpret, express, and enjoy life. Art is beyond function, and is active on an aesthetic level.
I wouldn't call every game a 'piece of art'. But to me, yes, video games qualify.

Actually, some art is interactive. It in now way affects whether or not the work is 'art'.
