Games as art... what a joke but hey, some people think the modern genre is acceptable as well :roll:

Wheres Killzone and gears :P

Annon 1404 deserves to be there :/ , and why mgs2 when there is mgs3?

Where is Call of Duty? Those games are like the Van Gogh of Gaming

is it just me or is Majora's Mask not on that list? :?

I find the inclusion of Minecraft as a wonderful thing.

where is Big Rigs?

Without ICO, it's an automatic failure.

They probably should have talked to gamers first, but that's the Smithsonian for you. . .

Spy vs Spy

Nice

Wii games? Hit the deck!OreoMilkshake

Nice to see boom blox and zack and wiki on that list. Odd not to see mad world, no more heroes (or killer 7) or any bit-trip game.

also odd not to see braid.
