Vector Tank: The Art of Video Games

March 3, 2011 |  by  |  Editorials

I have a high appreciation for the art of video games. Programmers, writers, and designers are all equally important in creating a video game but I have much more passion for the artistic side of that triangle.

While it isn’t exactly new news, I find it a huge leap for the video game industry as a whole that on March 16, 2012 – September 30th, 2012 will be running an exhibit revolving around video game art. Go here: http://www.artofvideogames.org to cast your votes on which games should be involved in the exhibit.

There will be five “era’s” of gaming.

START! 1970s-1980s
8-BIT 1980s-1990s
Bit Wars! 1990s
Transition 1990s-2000s
Next Generation 2000s-Current

Be sure to cast your votes, and become a part of history.

Additionally this has inspired me to do a regular editorial on the art of video games, called “Vector Tank”.
