The Smithsonian Museum of Art, in Washington D.C., is planning an exhibit exploring the 40-year history of video games as an artistic medium. Everyone is invited to log on to http://www.artofvideogames.org/ where they can register and vote for the 80 games to be included (separated into five eras of gaming). Remember to "vote for games that you think are visually spectacular or boast innovative design!" Once voting has ended, the exhibit is planned to run from March 16, 2011-September 30, 2012.

      Thank you for voting to help us select some of the games that will be included in The Art of Video Games exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. In response to popular demand, we have extended the voting period to midnight, Sunday, April 17, 2011.The winning games will be announced on May 5, 2011 at 1 p.m. EDT. Everyone who registers to vote with a valid email address by April 17 will be given the opportunity to find out the winning games before they are released to the general public! Be sure to cast all of your votes (note: there are four genres for each game system, click “next” to view them) and spread the word!"

    • Earlier in the week the webpage received so much traffic, that it had to be shut down. Glad to see there's so much interest in an exhibit like this.
