You  can't trust the fan sites.  And there's so much being produced that  
it's difficult for even a site that limits itself to one genre to keep  
up.  We have chosen to comprehensively attempt a documentation of all  
genres to the point where many would see us as leading the pack in such  
things.  Other, more "serious" subjects are still doing respectably  
well, but our greatest success is in what many people see as  trivial.  
We still demand NPOV on these articles, but can be more  relaxed about 
original research. The good secondary material is just not  there, and 
you don't maintain a lead by waiting for other sites or books  to put 
something decent together.

Absolutely. Some of our video game featured articles are some of the  best 
game sources on the internet. They don't go into excess detail, but they  cover 
the key aspects of development, story, gameplay, and reception. If one is  
patient enough, encyclopedic articles will flourish out of the most crufty main  
articles.
