Video Games are a form of Art

Sorry guys I forgot to post in early April about this. The Smithsonian museum is going to hold an exibit featuring video games as a new art form. They even had a poll going to let the public choose what video games from what generation and genre would go in.
They have posted the results today. AOE3 had it tough going up against Minecraft and Starcraft 2 in the Combat/Strategy section. Alas Minecraft won out in the fight.
Starcraft 1 managed to win in the previous generation.
Here is the PDF form of the list with the sections and genres listed and saying which games were beaten.
