    The Smithsonian American Art Museum is organising an exhibition which explores the evolution of video games – “The Art of Video Games”. Until April 7, voters selected 80 games from 240 video games appeared in the last 40 years. The Museum has released the list of the video games to be included in the exhibition.

    Super Mario, Doom II, WoW selected in “The Art of Video Games”   WOW-590x303


    The exhibition will open from March 16 to September 30, 2012. It will feature a lot of well known games such as Donkey Kong, Super Mario Brothers, SimCity, The Legend of Zelda, Metal Gear Solid 2, Halo 2 and other lesser-known titles. In the exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity to play some of the video games such as Pac-Man, Super Mario Brothers, The Secret of Monkey Island, Myst, and World of Warcraft as part of the display.

    However, it’s notable that sports and simulator games, and early-generation games such as Spacewar and Pong are missing from the list. There are few first-person shooters; Doom II is included as an entry in the DOS/Windows “action” genre.

    The show will have large screenshot samples of games from the vaults like The Bard’s Tale III: Thief of Fate, and Spy vs Spy. However, Gran Turismo 5, Call of Duty, Tekken, FIFA, Madden NFL, or even Guitar Hero will not be included.

    but they can be art ( u have a closed mind) art isnt just paintings and drawings its a feeling poured on to paper and shown everywhere and molded out of ur heart. Art is the beauty within someone to be creative so anything can be art.You just have to open ur mind up to it .

    I believe if there should be an example of art in a video game, the ico series is the CLOSEST you can get to it. The whole game is pretty void of the usual video game characteristics and is very atmospheric. And some of the music in both ico and shadow of the colossus were just stunning.
    There are many other games too that could be considered art. Some maybe not so much. Also there needs to be reminded that art isn't just artwork like the mona lisa. There are many forms of art. For example there is the high art then there is the kitsch kind of art and then many in between those even. Art is very subjective...
