"What is your top 3 favorite video games of all time"? Remember how hard that question was to answer? What if I told you could do that again, but this time FOR SCIENCE! ...Well, for Art actually. The Smithsonian American Art Exhibit in Washington DC is planning a new exhibit titled "The Art of Video games." Now, obviously, there are a lot, and I do mean a lot of video games to chose from, so they have set up a Poll, to see what games the public wants in the exhibit! The Voting takes place in Five "Eras"; "START!", "8-Bit", "Bit Wars!" "Transition" "Next Generation". The Five Eras split up into 20 different consoles, each containing 4 Genres and three games from each. That's 240 Games total, but you can only pick 80. Note that our favorite Blue hedgie is mentioned twice: Sonic CD is an option for the Action Genesis games, and Sonic Adventure is an option the Action Dreamcast games. Now, this poll has a few very tough decisions, one section makes you chose between Ocarina of Time, Majora's mask, and Paper Mario. Now, even though Ocarina of Time was the more popular, and paper mario is my favorite, I voted for majoras mask. This is a poll for which game is the most artistic so, try not to be to biased when voting for said sonic games. You can vote here, registering only takes an e-mail address, so please help expose the world to our beloved form of art.

With Era 1 all the stuff kind of looks the same so it isn't really art, in my opinion of course, and Cy's by the looks of it.

I mean.. I agree that Assassin's Creed needs some love.. But.... I mean, they were spot on with Tony Hawk being one of the 3 best PS2 action games of all time but then they went and had to slip up like this... TBH they can make up for it by nominating E.T. for something... most underrated game, ever.
