For anyone interested... the Smithsonian American Art Museum is doing an exhibit on "The Art of Video Games". They had a vote on which games would be included in the exhibit and which wouldn't, but today they announced the winners! To see the winners, you can go to http://americanart.si.edu/exhibitions/archive/2012/games/winninggames.pdf |

I do not get the "Art" part about the expo. Why let 3.7 million people decide what is art? Isn't the thing about art to confront the masses with something they don't know? If we talk art in videogames, I think - Tempest - We Love Katamari - Sonic 1 - The Path - Bohm - Q*Bert - Megaman - Centipede - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Leasure Suit Larry - Wolfenstein 3D - Shuffelpuck Cafe - Dark Castle - Patapon - Rolando - Chuckie Egg II - Rick Dangerous - Boulder Dash - Another World - Space Harrier |

I concede you have a point there. It was an amazing game. |
