This game's claim to fame is the "ATi CrossFire People's Choice Award", and a citation to a press release is provided. However, no reliable, independent sources appear to be available and therefore fails basic verification policy - and by extension fails the general notability guideline. The award, which itself has not attracted coverage beyond press releases, it not strong enough to support a article on a whole game series. Marasmusine (talk) 18:03, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Delete. Non notable, no sources. - Crockspot (talk) 20:14, 29 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:32, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete I can't even find a reference to the actual award; it seems to have been a one-time sponsorship by ATI for some fringe website's awards (not an award from ATI itself), and aside from the press release the website no longer even hosts info about the awards. As far as I'm concerned, it was nothing more than a marketing/publicity gimmick and does not lend any notability to the subject. Therefore, with no other claim to notability, the article should be deleted. Ham Pastrami (talk) 23:13, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I found a single about.com review for one of the games, and a small one at that, there's no notability demonstrated in the article and none apparent from a search. Someoneanother 22:17, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
