| E for All's Into the Pixel features video game art
While the main focus of this week's E for All Expo in Los Angeles is to let gamers get their hands on hot new console and PC games, there's a different exhibit on the show floor that appeals to art fans. Called Into the Pixel, the exhibit features fine art created by artists who work in game design. Into the Pixel — an annual fixture at past E3 Expo events — is here at E for All, featuring 16 inductees selected by a panel of jurors. It's already been shown at the E3 Media & Business Summit in Santa Monica earlier this year as well as the Toronto International Film Festival. The artwork runs the gamut from Half-Life 2 Episode 2 to 300: March to Glory, Rayman's Raving Rabbids to EVE Online. For the most part, these aren't screenshots — this is fine art created by the same game designers who create the environments and characters that populate popular video games.

His first two years here, he was having a lot of trouble," he said. "Last year, they were having some trouble in the locker room, but they hung together and fought hard and stayed together and persevered and now they're playing for the Super Bowl."
If they have a common denominator, it's that their teams benefited when a dominant personality was removed. For Coughlin, it was Tiki Barber. For Thomas, it appears to be Stephon Marbury.
Knicks fix
Nate Robinson was not invited to participate in his third NBA Slam Dunk contest. The 2006 champion was not among the invitees for this year's competition Feb. 16 in New Orleans. The field includes defending champ Gerald Green, Dwight Howard, Rudy Gay and Jamario Moon ...
