Visitors' sketches from The Art of Video Games comment books

The Art of Video Games exhibition includes a lot of interactive technology, but one of our favorite components is not hi-tech at all; it's a plain spiral-bound notebook that asks visitors to leave a comment. We include a comment book in every show that we do, and we read all of them. This exhibition has inspired a lot of comments: we've filled 12 books in just 2 months so far!

Gamers are a creative bunch, too, and many of the pages are filled with sketches and doodles of video game characters, from Pac-Man to Commander Shepherd. Next time you visit the show, be sure to leave us a message (written or sketched!).
