If there was a video game art museum, what games would be in it?

Portal for one, and Ocarina of Time for being a pioneer in 3d gaming.
I'd probably throw Castlevania and The Fallout series for good measure.

Bioshock, Limbo, Portal, L4D and probably Fallout 3 and/or New Vegas. Maybe Metro 2033?.

O shiz almost forgot Half Life 2 (episode 2 to be precise)

Some may agree with this, others not, but.....

Portal (great interactive art could be done)
Limbo (because it really does deserve it)
The Team Ico Games: Ico, Shadow of the Collossus, The Last Guardian (because really, it's a no brainer)
Silent Hill 3 (the art in it is disturbing, but fantastic for what the game calls for)
Braid (be odd if the game always used to help say that video games are art wasn't in a video game art museum)
Okami (Proves that non-realistic art is more beautiful than realistic graphics)
flOw (I see it being art)
The Castlevania series (a good example [possibly not the best, depending on how you see it] of a good gothic game)
Bayonetta (More just because seeing Bayonetta in a museum would be a funny thing)

Well there is my list, although like any great museum, there is room for tons of more additions

1. Pong
2. Mario
3. Zelda
4. Doom
5. Duke Nukem Forever
6. Half-Life
7. Halo
8. Starcraft
9. KOTOR
10. WoW

Those are just off the top of my head, each one of them there for the different things they contributed to video-gaming.

I can't list off a bunch of specific titles, but anything that contributed to the history of video gaming, including old consoles like Magnavox, Atari, an arcade-stand of Donkey Kong and Pac Man.

Of course, Super Mario Bros and several old NES titles as some of the first console games out there as well as starting off some of the biggest franchises (this includes stuff like Final Shitty Fantasy, Zelda, Metal Gear, etc). Duck Hunt and the raygun peripheral.

Hall of shame would be items that never really quite made it. Virtual Boy would get into this category. We could have a screening of Yahtzee's Duke Nukem Forever "review" as a mockery of the game that almost wasn't.

I dunno. I'd have to sit down and really think of a good list of things that would go into this idea. But these are good ideas for a start.

Yeah, I'm not sure how this would work... unless it's like a big fancy building where a bunch of games are set up and people go in there and play them... actually, that's an awesome idea... it would be like a giant arcade where people can play whatever they want...

But yeah I would say Fallout 3.



I bought the Collector's Edition and got that art book... some of that stuff is just flat out gorgeous. Same goes for BioShock 2. Personally, I thought that the Collector's Edition of BioShock 2 was better than the game itself...

Flower, Braid, and The Path. Also, possibly Psychonauts, and for true art (and another awesome game to boot), The Longest Journey.

And of course, no discussion on art in videogames is complete without the entirety of the Myst/Uru series...

How about this... everyone has an account there... like a monthly membership or something... I don't know, but it would be great.

I'm going to go with Clay Fighter "Sixty-Three and a Third". It's weird and confusing, and therefore, art! Oh, and it's also un-apologetically silly, which gets marks in my book.

Okami, anything by Team ICO, almost anything by Valve, flOw and Flower, The Fallout series, the Mario games because some things do mix it up rather well (like Mario Galaxy, my favourite...what? No, seriously before you say, Mario 64 has not aged well at all. It is nowhere near as fun to play now that controls these days are nice and smooth, rather than clunky), the Ratchet & Clank series, Minecraft (indie game that made $6000000 after being out for a year? Definitely), Professor Layton, Space Invaders series (Extreme and Infinity Gene were weird and pretty wacky).

That's all I can think of for now.
