Kyle Downes' Short Visual History of Videogames
It might lean a bit too heavily on the oft-repeated but dubiously-argued narrative of the industry's bust and boom (and other console wars tropes), but Kyle Downes' 3D/motion graphics student project A Short Visual History of Videogames is as pretty as it gets, and came packed in a gorgeously designed case to boot.
His level of dedication is less of a surprise, however, when you realize that he's the same 'Ultra Awesome' Downes that put together the previously covered giant NES controller/coffee table/storage box.

given the time constraints, it's hard to get a complete history of anything...

I was going to rant and rave about Tennis for Two or Spacewar! but the complete brushoff of the Dreamcast got my hackles up. For one brave shining moment the Dreamcast was the future of video games until Sony's brutal PR campaign buried it in a wave of hyperbole and target renders.
