That said, not all art is good art. Games can most definitely be considered and critiqued as art, but only if it was intended to be art in the first place. I think it is unlikely that the makers of Madden NFL will try to make a case that their games are art pieces. However, game developers like 'thatgamecompany' have clearly stated their intent to create video game art. In that type of case, the games should be evaluated as art and can subsequently be deemed good or bad by the highly subjective art critics. Interactivity is a characteristic of some art that is clearly lost on Ebert.
