When I walked through the doors of the La Convention Center I didn’t think I would find myself looking and marveling at pieces of artwork created from some of the worlds most well known video games, but that is exactly what happened.
I am of course talking about Into the Pixel, which for those of you who didn’t know is a project of the Entertainment Software Association and the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (Aias), who today unveiled a new collection of video game art at this years E3. Into the Pixel, which premiered today, showcases the best video game art from around the world – and the talented artists who created it.

The video game industry in the USA alone was worth nearly $15 billion dollars in 2012, heralding a stark rise in value since the 2002-2006 era, when it was only worth half that amount each year. With such huge sums of money being spent, expectations have understandably risen amongst gamers that the finished articles released hot off the shelves are 100% complete and playable.
With new titles costing £40-45 each, it is a sizable outlay, considering many game titles (excluding RPG/Strategy) are often completed in under 20 hours.

The U.S. Supreme Court is taking on the constitutionality of a proposed California law to ban the sale of video games to minors. The same Supreme Court where Chief Justice John Roberts asked the difference between email and a pager, and where Justice Antonin Scalia asked if "spicy little" texts could be printed out and sent in hard copy to buddies.
The gaming industry already polices the sale of mature video games via the ratings of the non-profit Entertainment Software Ratings Board (Esrb), which also levees fines on stores that are caught breaking the rules. That wasn't enough for California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The case to legalize a stricter law (Schwarzenegger, Gov. of CA v. Entertainment Merchants Association, argument 08-1448) will be scheduled for the highest court's next session, which begins in October.
