This is awesome, Bioshock has to be displayed!!! I willbe voting, more than once if possible, lol

[Muskel]

80 video games for the Smithsonian? Bioshock damn well better be there! *votes*

[Juan29.Zapata]

Voted! Bioshock really deserves it!


I voted for Shadow of the Colossus and Flower too, they're the perfect definition of artistic games.

[ragingmudcrab]

BioShock, Oblivion and Metal Gear better at least be there. But where's the handheld category?

[Juan29.Zapata]

Good point, but I don't think that there has been something borderline artistic from the handheld platform.


Sure there might be, but if most people don't know about them, it's hard to even find the copyright holders.

[gamertam]

Missile Command, Pitfall, Earthworm Jim,....and Bioshock of course.

Come on, at least that. One of the most popular series of all time.

Bioshock is a must but let us not forget Shadow of the Colossus

Crap, Judge, this guy is right!</a>

Ok guys/gals, if you haven't voted yet go do it now. They have extended the deadline to midnight April 17th. Viva Bioshock!

[laforzadimente]

Some of these choices are ridiculous.


I have to choose between WoW, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Fallout 3? I don't even recognize 60% of the other titles, why do I have to choose between the ones I like? :(


And where were Galaga, Centipede, etc.? They put Star Wars Shadow of the Empire instead of Rogue Squadron and Bioshock was vs Gears of War 2 and Halo 3 which have giant multiplayer components so they aren't comparable. These people are high

[tortuga121]

Voted for BioShock and the Fallout series, excellent art design and graphics.

[Icegrove]

Agreed, two games where they make good stories and like that they gives us the old culture of music!

[Rybow73]

BioShock has another vote...

Lol, I don't know maybe they voted a few weeks ago and decided to post that they just did. I just got an email saying their doing a live webcast 1pm on May 5th to announce the winners, if you voted ;) you should have gotten the email as well.

[Magicmaker]

They might have kept the voting up longer or maybe you could still vote but it didn't actually count. I did get the email about the webcast, hoping for the best.

[Magicmaker]

Kind of a ways off, not sure if I'm moving or not. If I'm still around I'll take some pictures for y'all.

[Rybow73]

Congratulations to Bio! If only it was there a few years ago when I was at the Smithsonian.

[Evans0305]

Congratulations to BioShock's nomination win. It was by the sweat of our brow that got BioShock to win. Long live Rapture!

[Magicmaker]

Everyone who voted way to go! Bioshock has earned a place in history, literally. Congrats to all.

[IGlegacy_Felonious]

Awesome news, I was hoping I would come home from work to this!

[californiawave]

This is awesome. Now Rapture is a part of history even more so than before, makes me happy.

[Rybow73]

It's hard to imagine the world without BioShock, now that I've been obsessed with it since it came out, haha.
