Mass Effect 2 is among the list of games
to be featured because of its stunning visuals

It's good to see that the video gaming industry is gaining more and more of the respect that it deserves. This year alone saw an epic stride with the Supreme Court's ruling that video games deserve the same first amendment protections as television, movies, and other forms of art. Now, the Smithsonian Museum of Art is presenting "The Art of Video Games" Exhibition which features some of the most influential artists and designers during five eras of game technology, from early pioneers to contemporary designers . It also will explore the many influences on game designers, and the pervasive presence video games have in the broader popular culture, with new relationships to video art, film and television, educational practices, and professional skill training.
Eighty games will be featured in this exhibition that will show the evolution of the industry and the artwork therein. But seriously, do we need four Mario games and five Zelda games on the list? Perhaps, and hopefully, they will revise their decision and include some other visually striking games that caught the attention of gamers this year like El Shaddai Rise of the Metatron, or Skyrim.
The exhibition runs from March 16 to September 30, 2012
