Video Game Canon Created

No, not a cannon (one 'n' not two). Canon - noun a standard; criterion. Also - any comprehensive list of books within a field. Here, video game, but to the same effect. Like the National Film Registry, starting this year, a list of the best games, a veritable canon of genre, will be formed on a yearly basis. This constitutes huge step for video games because it establishes them as being less a juvenile past time and more a cultural force. Read the article here. One day, I hope to have worked on a game that makes this list. That would be high praise indeed.
