GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

I'll be reviewing the article over the next few days. Below you will find the standard GAN criteria, along with a list of issues I have found. As criteria pass, a or  will be replaced with a. Below the criteria you'll see a list of issues I've found. Feel free to work on them at any time. I will notify you when I'm done checking over the article. At that time I'll allow the standard one week for fixes to be made.

Issues found

 * The New York Times reference needs to use Cite web
 * File:Hot Potato Screenshot.jpg has no information on who the copyright belongs to. I typically put it in the other_information parameter of the fair use rationale
 * I added the copyright information and changed some of the other information around as well to make it more clear. Nomader  ( Talk ) 16:32, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The Metacritic reference gives a 404 error. Please see here and here for how to recover the correct link.  The publisher parameter also lists it as MetaCritic instead of Metacritic (lower case c)
 * Bad news– the link doesn't seem to come up on either archive.org or through the apps.metacritic.com. If I do a search using the apps website though, it shows the Metacritic score the game received . Am I able to use that as a citation instead? Nomader  ( Talk ) 16:32, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * That's fine, just be sure to archive it using Webcite. Everything else looks good. --Teancum (talk) 18:27, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, I archived it and put the link in the article, should take care of the last issue. Nomader  ( Talk ) 19:45, 27 October 2010 (UTC)


 * (Lead section) "The game makes the player..." flows strangely. How about "In the game the player must..."
 * (Gameplay section) The references at the end of the first paragraph should be reversed so that they're in numeric order
 * (Gameplay section) The word 7 should be spelled out seven
 * (Gameplay section) In the third sentence of the second paragraph, "from the road" is unnecessary and confusing - it makes the sentence to long to clearly understand
 * (Gameplay section) "The game has no multiplayer component." is unnecessary as the reader is informed of that through the infobox
 * (Reception section) "He criticized the game for failing to introduce the player to the point of the game" - two uses of "the game" seems redundant and unclear here. It should work just fine with "He criticized it for failing..."

Review complete - Gotta love the short articles. I'm done here, so please reply when these issues have been addressed.
 * Thanks for the review! Well I think I've responded to all of your comments save the Metacritic issue. If worst comes to worst I can just remove Metacritic from the article altogether for now and just go with Game Rankings. Nomader  ( Talk ) 16:32, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Good work. The article can now PASS. --Teancum (talk) 20:37, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
