Title: The Smithsonian's "The Art of Video Games"

You can vote to decide which games will be featured in the exhibit!

I have some issues with placement (Dreamcast should go with the Xbox/PS2 and the current consoles should be their own thing, not to mention the lack of handhelds), but the games they have up for voting seem fair representations of the best each genre had to offer on each platform. Mostly.

Already voted. Twice.

How Halo 2 can even be considered art next to JSRF is beyond me.

Agreed. but the Starship was a nice touch, as opposed to the CO.

May register again and vote again cuz some of the game I wanted to vote for were in the same place as some of the other games I wanted to vote for. (Ex. Earthworm Jim and Sonic CD)
