Transcendence (video game)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable freeware video game. All the links go to sources that are not independent of the subject, like the game's homepage, or are reviews at sites that are somewhat bloggish and of dubious reliability. Reyk YO!  10:42, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

 * One of those sites features a review by Greg Costikyan, and may well be acceptable. What's our practice on Play This Thing? --Kiz o r  01:00, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I use Play This Thing regularly, Greg's writings are great sources regardless of where they're published, both him and his deputy Patrick Dugan get quoted in magazine features etc. I also use TIGsource (it's Derek Yu, a noted indie developer). I also use Big Download since it's part of AOL's bulging bits, and look at the size of the bugger. Seems amply notable. Someoneanother 02:51, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The review sites look OK and non-trivial to me too. SharkD   Talk  01:39, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. As same as SharkD. Refs include AOL, 1UP.com, 4Gamer (no article yet but as Alexa ranks it around 4,400 and 276 in Japan (that is massive) with 4,500 sites linking in while Gamespy is at 2,600 and 1,669 in USA with 3,500 sites linking in, 1UP.com is at 2,736 and 1,145 in USA with 11,500 sites linking in, and Gamershell is at 3,165 and 582 in Brazil with 7,500 sites linking in there should be), Playthisthing and Abandonia Reloaded. All game reviews are bloggish. None of those sites are "dubious" while AOL, 1UP and 4Gamer are in the top 10 or 20 of their international fields. ~ R . T . G  08:35, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
