Meh. It was just okay. When /r/DCGaymers went, it was opening weekend and quite crowded, but there honestly wasn't that much information there overall. They only showed four video games per system, with a short gameplay/demo clip for each one. If you know anything about the history of gaming (which I'm assuming most of us do), there wasn't much new to see. It's definitely a better exhibit for the non-ga(y)mer as opposed to the ga(y)mer. I would have probably preferred reading the book the exhibition was based on instead (though, looking at the reviews, it seems to be just as shallow an analysis/overview that the exhibit was... I almost always enjoy a deeper work to a shallower one). I am glad I didn't pay for it though. :-)

I ought to go back one of these weekends when it won't be as crowded and see if I get more out of it.
