I will review later today. Please be advised that I will not have access to a computer from Friday afternoon to Sunday night, Australian Time. Freikorp (talk) 03:20, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Well done on the article. Placing on hold until minor issues are addressed. As per previous comment, if you don't address all the concerns by early tomorrow afternoon you'll have to wait till Sunday night/Monday for me to pass the review. Freikorp (talk) 10:39, 5 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I believe I have hit all the points: note that on the two lead references, I've moved the references elsewhere in the article to clear that up. --M ASEM (t) 16:14, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
 * "A version for Xbox One co-developed by Double Eleven is also in progress." Consider mentioning as of when development of this version was reported to be in progress.
 * "They limited themselves to a limited development time" - lose the second instance of 'limited'.
 * "Tim Turi of Game Informer stated that the first hour of so with the game would be amusing, but lacked more expansions features that he "[does not] recommend it to anyone looking for more than disposable entertainment"." Fix bolded grammar error in first half of sentence; second half of sentence needs grammar rewrite also. How about, "but due to the lack of more expansion features he"
 * "Rich Stanton of The Guardian was very critical of the game, noting how the game is self-aware of its poor quality, and stated that the game's creation and promotion "demonstrates how social media and the internet amplify our supine tendencies". Avoid three uses on "the game" in one sentence.
 * "Goat Simulator was named as an honorable mention for Excellence in Audio for the 2015 Independent Games Festival." I think it's a good idea to avoid single sentence paragraphs, but up to you.
 * B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. Has an appropriate reference section:
 * Reference '"Double Eleven » Goat Simulator is heading for XBox One!".' needs to be formatted as per other references, date, access date, work etc
 * Reference 'Goat Simulator 1st Alpha Gameplay". YouTube.' You should somehow mention in the reference that it is the Official Coffee stain Youtube account. Also needs access date.
 * Fix inconsistently formatted reference dates, i .e 'Retrieved 3 April 2014' and 'Retrieved 2014-08-12'
 * Is there any reason why 'Joystiq' isn't wikilinked in references yet all the other 'works' are?
 * B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:
 * C. No original research:
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Major aspects:
 * B. Focused:
 * 1) Is it neutral?
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) Is it stable?
 * No edit wars, etc:
 * 1) Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
 * A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
 * B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:

All issues addressed. Passing now. :) Freikorp (talk) 22:06, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
