Why Ebert Was Right

Posted by Zonk on Monday December 5, 2005 @09:45AM from the large-man-big-ideas dept.

Next Generation reports has an article examining how, in some ways, Roger Ebert was right when he criticised the artistic merits of gaming. From the article: "But Ebert cannot be discounted, because, while he may not be the foremost authority on videogames, he knows a great deal about storytelling. He's not even completely ignorant on the subject of gaming; in fact, Roger Ebert is credited with at least one game review, a piece on the obscure Cosmology of Kyoto published in Wired in 1995. He reviewed it positively - he said it was wonderful."

"he knows a great deal about storytelling."
As one of the poor unfortunates who has sat all the way through Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, I respectfully disagree on this point.

You're thinking of "Touch of Evil".
