Smithsonian celebrates 'Art of Video Games' - CNN.com

What games do you hope are there? Also, which game do you think deserves to be considered art

the ones that are on there are available to see online on a pdf at: http://americanart.si.edu/exhibition...nninggames.pdf

also shows nominees.

I will probably go if I can get someone to come with me, I dont like going downtown alone. Itll be up until September so hopefully I can convince someone to join me by then. I'll take pics if i go.

im really upset that chrono trigger got beat out by a link to the past. It is definitely (imo) a more artistic game and pushed the capabilities of the snes more than zelda, at least in the visuals dept.

also nights: into dreams beat out by tomb raider? really? There is no way in hell that any game in any genre (except MAYBE panzer dragoon) on the saturn was more artistic than nights into dreams

i mean look at this shit:

this + 1995 = visual fucking orgasm
