You can look at graphics, gameplay complexity, or as we&#8217;re about to illustrate, how your character actually dies in the game. As technology improved, so did the deaths suffered by the myriad protagonists, eventually progressing to the point where, today, you live through that death in the first person, forced to watch your hero&#8217;s grisly final moments ...</p>360 featureFeb 19, 2009http://www.gamesradar.com/f/the-coolest-funniest-gaming-images-on-the-web/a-20080523155828156065<img src="http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Features/2008/05/Videogame%20Art/Lego%20Portal--article_blog_image.jpg" border="0"></img><br />If evidence were ever needed of how culturally important games are these days, it's in the world of art.
