MOMA Game acquisition

May not be particularly relevant to my ideas and topics that I am thinking about exploring in my honours project since Paola Antonelli looks at games as pieces of interaction design but never the less it is great that games finally getting acknowledged for something more than a child’s toy.

On a side note, this video in my opinion shows well that some of the critics have no idea what they are talking about and one should question at least now and again knowledge that is out there.
