World Video Game Hall of Fame Established in New York!
VinWarrior posted a article in Other Articles
Some really cool news coming out of New York is that a World Video Game Hall of Fame Museum has been established! View attachment: video game characters.jpg Near my home-town, in Rochester, New York, some really interesting stuff is going on that may allow people to see Video Games as much more a form of art than before. As IGN.com reports, The Strong, a national foundation, has set up a museum involving famous and culturally impactful games, the World Video Game Hall of Fame. To get into the museum, a game is judged based upon it's reach around the world, the status of it's icon, the game's longevity and replayability, and finally it's overall influence. Games can come from any device, from the Xbox, to the PlayStation, to the PC, Wii, DS, or even indie consoles like the Ouya or mobiles. You can actually nominate a video game on The Strong's web-page, and it will be reviewed by a panel of high profile figures like journalists, developers, and gamers themselves. This is a very good idea to show the modern public, and modern media, that gamers are no longer just a group of basement dwellers and games are no longer just mindless entertainment. Video games have an immense cultural impact, and this museum will show that to people. Leave your thoughts and nominations down below, thanks for reading everyone! Tune in next time! -
