Failed because I don't like you. Sorry.

Just kidding. I think it's pretty close; just look at these comments:

  • "Their games are consistently simple in their aesthetics and controls" - Possibly POV; I'd shroud this in something to the effect of the developer designing the games to be that way.
  • "mocked up" - What does this mean?
  • In TNNS's section, why is Pocket Gamer's reviewer first just called "Pocket Gamer" and later "Pocket Gamer's Mark Brown"? I'd use the second of those first and refer to him subsequently as "Brown".
  • Why don't Ten by Eight and TNNS have some kind of images?
  • Why doesn't the studio itself have an image?

This should be most of them, but I'll be back later. Tezero (talk) 23:13, 10 June 2014 (UTC) Back. More:[reply]

  • Videoball's section needs more of a traditional introduction like the other three have rather than jumping straight into the gameplay.
  • Ten by Eight looks like it could be expanded with regards to reception.
  • I would stick all four of the games as subheaders under a level-2 section titled "Games" or "Titles".

That really is it. I'll put the article on hold. Tezero (talk) 23:54, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Tezero, ah, I suppose you don't have to like me, but I do hope we'll be able to work together in the future. I believe I've addressed the above—take a look? As mentioned on the Ziggurat talk page, Rogers is sending in-game assets soon—caught up in E3 and whatnot this week. czar  01:47, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'll trust you to get those assets when the time comes and pass the article under that premise. If there's something you want to collaborate on, I can do that, although I don't notice our interests here overlapping that much within WP:VG. I'm not even sure whether I don't like you or anyone else, but that doesn't matter. The page is ready. Tezero (talk) 02:50, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
