Games'll be judged based on the following: icon status, longevity, geographic reach and influence, according to The Associated Press. Oh, and if a game is deemed influential enough, it can be inducted to the hall of fame based on that reason alone. So, something along the lines of Super Metroid or Grand Theft Auto III, perhaps. Maybe The Strong's ahem, robust background can ensure that this is a recurring event instead of a short-lived idea like the International Video Game Hall of Fame. After all, it also runs the International Center for the History of Electronic Games and National Toy Hall of Fame among other stuff. You can vote until the end of March and the first wave'll be announced sometime in June. You're going to help carry the torch for Hybrid Heaven, right?
