2006_02_bobbyhill_dance.jpgBeen jonesing for some Centipede? Jealous of your friends who have Xbox 360? Been wanting to try Dance Dance Revolution ever since you saw Bobby Hill do it? Here's a chance to make all your dork gaming dreams come true, all in one place.

Back by popular demand, Game On 2.0 is opening at the Museum of Science and Industry this Friday. The exhibit looks at the history, culture and future of video games. The best part is that you can play a bunch of games like the arcade classic Centipede; Pro Evolution Soccer 5; Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3; Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi; Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; and Project Gotham Racing, which is playable on the Xbox 360.

All together there are 100 games you can play while you learn about the 40-year history of computer gaming and its impact on contemporary culture. You'll also see how gaming technology has changed, who led the gaming revolution, and how video games are developed.

Game On 2.0 runs through April 30 and is $5 in addition to your general entry ticket.
