Wikipedia's Feature Article: Donkey Kong?
Scape | 7:38 PM on 10.14.2007 2 comments


You may remember earlier in the month Wikipedia had the Kingdom Hearts series as its featured article. It seems that they are continuing the video game trend today with Donkey Kong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

It just seems kind of strange that out of all the articles that Wikipedia has, it chooses to feature two articles about video games in a short span of time.

Combine this with articles from the BBC such as this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/click_online/7041086.stm
It seems that video games are going more and more mainstream, and getting even more attention from the media.

That is awesome that Kingdom Hearts was front paged, didn't see that before (the DK love is cool too).


BBC I love/hate, but expect more and more gaming stuff from them.

I remember along time ago, about a year or so ago that some guy at the Wiki Corp talked about how they like to publish Feature articles on Video Games. I think it's less about the mainstream trend of things and more about them doing it for the gamers, if that makes sence. Still! Keep up the good work!

I liked your Donky Kong Rap. :)
