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.
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.
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.
Not Roger Ebert (who I doubt has ever played a video game) but two authors writing for his site.
The primary author even admits he plays maybe 2 games a month so I’m not sure why this article is relevant…
The picks are very generic, no surprises here… not worth the click
Considering Roger Ebert died a decade ago, he definitely didn’t play these games.

Ah yeah for some reason I was thinking of Roeper.
Might as well be titled “List of AAA games I played in 2023”.
For real. Jedi Survivor? GTFO. 🤦🏽♂️

I was totally convinced he rose from the dead just to play Starfield. Now you’re telling me that’s not what happened?
