CHICAGO--Video games have come a long way since their humble beginnings, and--despite the occasional fits of controversy surrounding some of them--they are becoming more and more widely recognized as legitimate works of art. Yet games' connection to technology is undeniable, so it's somehow fitting that an exhibit called Game On premiered at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. Featuring a hands-on tour of all reaches of gaming, spread across 16 different "levels," Game On is one of the most comprehensive looks at the game industry we've ever seen. Join GameSpot's executive producer Ryan Mac Donald as we put you smack-dab in the middle of it all.
OK, to be honest, we can't actually put you in the exhibit. And you can't get the whole story of Game On just by looking at it, like you can do in a typical art exhibit. However, we've attempted to do the next best thing to buying you round-trip tickets to Chicago, and that's putting together a virtual tour. Watch this exclusive video presentation and see just how far games have come.
