The Walk of Game was a year-round attraction in the United States honoring the icons and pioneers of the video game industry, and was located inside Metreon, an entertainment shopping center in San Francisco, California. It noted the most influential game characters of that year.
Gamers worldwide cast their votes through paper ballots and online submissions at the Walk of Game website during a one-month voting period. Ballots were held during October in the years 2005 and 2006. No additional ballots have been opened since; as such, the practice appears to have been discontinued. The top four games/characters and two lifetime achievers were honored with a permanent, 24"x24", customized steel star on Walk of Game.
The attraction was deliberately similar to Hollywood, California's Walk of Fame, as suggested by the similar name and customised floor tiles.

Famous quotes containing the words walk and/or game:
“There’s one basic rule you should remember about development charts that will save you countless hours of worry.... The fact that a child passes through a particular developmental stage is always more important than the age of that child when he or she does it. In the long run, it really doesn’t matter whether you learn to walk at ten months or fifteen months—as long as you learn how to walk.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Hollywood held this double lure for me, tremendous sums of money for work that required no more effort than a game of pinochle.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
