Video games take center-stage in an exhibition at London's V&A Museum that kicks off this week, looking at how the popular leisure activity has been designed and played since the mid-2000s.
"Videogames: Design/Play/Disrupt" features concept art, prototypes, and materials from major studios as well as smaller independent designers developed in the age of smartphones and social media.
