 * If you look at how much information is in this article, it's staggering. This article has been mercilessly edited by many, many IPs (I get a new edit every hour or so), as well as reg'd users.  But, the article is composed entirely of lists.  The way I see it, if we could convert all of these lists into paragraphs, merge sections, we could quite possibly have a very well-written article.

 * Machinima is a very important concept and idea in the video gaming world. And this article already has a lot of information in it, but in my opinion, it's very poor and mislaid.  Early Quake era machinima, where it really took off is pretty much ignored.  Some parts of it look like advertising, specifically the There section and especially the bloated external links, where every machinima under the sun seems to be listed.  I'd also consider expanding and then splitting off sections like Halo machinima and Quake machinima when they get long enough. - Hahnchen 13:56, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

 * The game that revived the industry, kicked off a genre, and brought Nintendo to the attention of the English-language pop culture. I've been working on this for a while, but I could use some help, especially in adding some historical context and more about the soundtrack. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 23:50, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Possibly the best game ever made for the classic Apple Macintosh platform in the 1990s. Escape Velocity is fun and engaging, and certainly deserves a featured article as it was one of the first really successful shareware Mac games. There's a lot to cover on this game, so it could easily become a featured article. Lets go for it! — Wackymacs 19:08, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Burnout 3 is a great game, but is largely lacking on the depth part of the article. It could also do with a few reviews & comparations to the new Burnout game. Spawn Man

 * yea you are right, it does need improvments, the story should be on Spolier Warning, the use rmust have spend to many times on the Storyline, it shouldn't be that long and it should just be a main storyline. Aslo it needs to be spilt in a subpage for Organisation to Cheats, which should be called Gameplay, in another ways, you can make a sub page for the weapons, and a link refereing to it under a head on the article called Gameplay

 * Article has become quite bloated. Significant cleanup needs to be done, especially deciding what can stay in the article and what can be split.  I have moved to split the article, which is documented more cleanly on the Talk:Counter-Strike.  Feel strange posting this since it is considered a 'good' article, but I think it would benifit greatly from some improvement.  Counter-Strike is such an interesting part of internet and gaming culture & I think the wikipedia article deserves better.
 * I agree, I've read through the entire article several times; although for some people it might be too much ot digest. Current sub-CS pages include maps, equipment, cheating, and Condition Zero.  I think that (looking at current sections, which could be paraphrased) CS Culture, Professional CS, and even CS: Source could merit their own articles, especially Professional CS, it's probably the largest section in the article.  If this article is chosen, I wouldn't say we need to add anything; that's the problem, so it would mostly be a process of splitting the article. gakon5 (talk)
 * This has to be voted there is no sub pages all info is just packed together, which you have to scroll down hard, if some info are in some sub pages, then the page will be neater

 * The game that defined the modern RTS genre. This game has been up for nomination at GCOTW, but most people felt the article was already too developed. I think the article could be improved by sectioning off different Houses, talking about units, and wikifying the article generally. Jacoplane 23:17, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't think Mega Man needs any introduction. This needs better crosslinking, more description of what Mega Man is up front, and less random numbers and move names. This shouldn't be a series-geek article, but a bit more of a general-reader article. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 03:46, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
