    Go here to vote on what games you want to see in the Smithsonian.

    :D
    The games exhibited will appear alongside videos, playable games, installations and other features planned for the exhibit, which runs until September.

    Visitors can vote for 80 games out of a list of 240 assembled by the museum.

    The voting is divided up into time periods and games for different consoles. As users scroll through the list, they're shown groups of three games and allowed to vote for one in each group.

    For example, one grouping for the Playstation 2 presents the choice between "Tony Hawk's Underground 2," "God of War" and "Shadow of the Colossus."

    For the more old-school gamer, a three-way showdown for the Nintendo Entertainment System matches up "Final Fantasy," "The Legend of Zelda" and "Shadowgate."

    Too bad it's premade. I'd prefer custom voting because I'm pretty sure my favorite game is not on that list.

    Well, gotta vote Shadow of the Colossus then.

    "Remember, this is an art exhibition, so be sure to vote for the games that you think are visually spectacular or boast innovative design," the site says.

    Ok, but for example, I don't think God of War or that Tony Hawk game (I hope that wasn't made up by you) are "visually spectacular" or that they "boast innovative design" (I don't even know what exactly they mean with that).

    Is Okami there? Or Ico? How about Baten Kaitos?

    Haven't looked at the choices so maybe I find these games.

    I think Okami is there. Don't remember Ico, but Shadow of the Colossus is there for sure.
