I was largely unimpressed with the exhibit. I wanted analysis of the art of video games--interviews with the artists about how they adapt their designs to suit the limitations and possibilities of the medium, lots of original concept art to compare to the final product, discussion of which games' visual styles influenced other games, maybe even a look at how people adapt video game designs to the real world in the form of cosplay costumes.

Instead, I got some video games to play, some very facile interviews about "hey, people, designing games is complicated and requires creativity!," and brief summaries of how game play works in a bunch of different games. Less art of video games, more introduction to video games 101. Which is fine, I guess, but I already know that stuff. I was hoping for something more.

Still makes a good carrot for dragging kids into the art museum, though, I'm sure.
