Awesome.
hahaha ET the Extra Terrestrial is on this list.
I don't want to sign up for yet another website I'll only visit once. Wasn't OpenID created specifically to tackle that?
well of course they are art but they are a little bit more complex than that no-other distributable medium can have interaction as the method of expression
They're asking the internet to vote on this shit? This isn't going to end well.

The Smithsonian says it. You can no longer say opposite. Too bad. You lose. [QUOTE=thisispain;28066867]well of course they are art but they are a little bit more complex than that no-other distributable medium can have interaction as the method of expression[/QUOTE] Art: [quote]The products of human creativity; works of art collectively; "an art exhibition"; "a fine collection of art"[/quote] Not complicated at all. You've merely got this perception that art is mainly just a painting on a wall or a sculpture on a pedestal. You only give movies, calligraphy, dance and the like a second thought. The recent suggestion of videogames being an art has confused your perception.
eat a dick roger ebert
*sigh* This is sad. Ocarina of Time compared to Majora's Mask. OoT is the most popular game, but from an artistic view, Majora's Mask was WAY deeper, darker and all that jazz. Biggest complaint. Let's just hope I am wrong

I hate how Unreal got put where Half-life should be. If Half-Life were there, I'd be at ease to pick Portal in the section where it's against Half-Life 2 because I'd like for at least one Half-Life to win, but now I can't decide between Portal and Half-Life 2. I think they should have formatted this differently, in some sections, more than one of the games deserves to be put on their list, like Deus Ex and Doom.
Can someone tell me what the catagories are? The voting appears to be down.
Red Dead Redemption gets my vote for present if it's up there
[QUOTE=certified;28078660]Can someone tell me what the catagories are? The voting appears to be down.[/QUOTE] There are five eras which are viewable even when voting is down. Inside each of those eras there is a number of consoles (including PC), and for each console (and for PC), there are 4 sections: Action, Adventure, Target, and Combat/Strategy. Within each section there are three games to pick from, and you can only pick one of them.

Damn them! Deus Ex and Doom II on the same page!
God DAMN it I was in DC a few weeks ago and went to the Museum.
Everyone vote for minecraft. I want to see what they put up for it. :v:
Damn it... Call of duty: WaW is on the same page as Half life 2 and Portal. And Blops is on the same page as Little big planet 2 and Uncharted 2.
AWW SHIT Portal or Half-Life 2 PORTAL OR HALF-LIFE 2
[QUOTE=yuki;28080542]AWW SHIT Portal or Half-Life 2 PORTAL OR HALF-LIFE 2[/QUOTE] Half Life 2.
I will shit bricks if Minecraft wins. Minecraft is garbage. [QUOTE=yuki;28080542]AWW SHIT Portal or Half-Life 2 PORTAL OR HALF-LIFE 2[/QUOTE] Portal. More artistic.
i swear to fuck if psychonauts doesn't win that category i'm going to harm someone also not even a question between portal and half life 2, hl2 hands down
[QUOTE=Lazyboy0337;28080592]I will shit bricks if Minecraft wins. Minecraft is garbage. Portal. More artistic.[/QUOTE] Fuck portal, you could throw around a paint bucket in HL2 and be all artsy on any objects in your vacancy.
Where is the "Minecraft" option? I think Notch is more than deserving of a spot in the Smithsonian...

It is opinion based.
Although I never played it, Myst should get a spot in here. It always struck me as a very artistically impressive game.
