PICTURE SPECIAL: Game 2.0 Exhibition

I bloody love videogames, me. I love owt like that. In fact, there's a videogame renaissance going on at my house: Last Of Us play-through number two is well underway (with GTA V on the horizon), bedtime reading is The Ultimate History of Videogames and the postman will be delivering a USB N64 controller any day now.

Even Tony is in on the act with a visit to the Ontario Science Centre's Game 2.0 exhibit. The history of gaming in 150+ playable consoles, each and every controller caked in the germs of countless snotty kids. We had a smashing time, thanksverymuch, and colds that lasted more than a week. It was worth it.

What ever happened to Pong?

Master System... I was more of a Master System II type of guy
