Isinia Reporting with the Latest News! ^.^The video game business is in the spotlight this week, first by being recognized by the US government as an art form, and second by the Smithsonian American Art Museum publishing its official listing of video games to appear in the The Art of Video Games exhibit. All in all, a pretty solid week for the video game industry’s coming of age.
US government officially recognizes video games as art
"Enthusiasts have long debated whether video games qualify as “art.” But that conversation is now over at the US government’s National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), which just declared “all” forms of media, including video games, content made for the Internet, and “mobile technologies” officially-sanctioned art forms."

The Smithsonian’s video game list revealed
"Along with list there will be five games that will be available to play. These were voted by the museum and not by the voters. Visitors will get to spend a few minutes playing these games."
