Video games are about to become a centerpiece of a new exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington DC.  The "The Art of Video Games" exhibit is slated to open in March 2012 with a focus on the evolution of video games as an artistic medium.

The museum has asked the public for help in making the decision to select video games that will be included in the exhibit.  Now through April 7, the public can can choose 80 games from a pool of 240 choices in various categories. Results will be posted in May by the museum.  The titles that are selected will be on display at the museum next year as screen shots or short video clips.
