Community The Smithsonian American Art Museum announced their list games

Now that games are art here are some of the opening exhibits

After all the debate games have been excepted as a form of art.  And they have added a section to the Smithsonian just for games.  You can see Pac-Man, Super Mario Brothers 3, the Legend of Zelda, Doom 2, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, and a ton more.  Having games accepted like this has got them included in some grants for art programs even (as long as they are considered an art game) and it may finally help to get people to stop using them as scapegoats.  

Just think of all those times your parents gave you crap about playing games, you were studying art.

I've always said it was an art form. My mother to this day still doesn't like what I do in gaming. She's a nuab.

is "a ton of games" a company or just a tag?

I don't know about putting them in a museum, but it's about damn time they were accepted as an art form.

Heard Dragon, but "a ton of games" on our tags list doesn't make sense. I took care of it, no big deal. Don't be a Jimmy!
