I've listed this article for peer review because… I have been re-writing the article for months now (since Nov 2015) and I'd like suggestions for further improvement to possibly get the article to GA status.
Thanks, κατάσταση 23:21, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
- Good use of general audience tone, overall, but why is the plot twice the length of the gameplay? Should be put into proportion. Also the reviews should be paraphrased—they should include quotations only when the language cannot possibly be put adequately in your own words. You can probably find more historic reviews in an academic/newspaper database. Watch for consistency in CyberFlix CamelCase. Publications and works in citations should be wikilinked whenever possible. Might do well to get a WP:GOCE copyedit.

- @Czar: Thanks for the details. Any suggestions of a database to find more historic reviews? I always have a difficult time locating sources in print. If you could also suggest an academic database to find more sources on the development, that would be much appreciated. CyberFlix (with capital F) seems to be the correct form from sources and the game itself. About the plot, the game has a lengthy and relatively complex storyline, so I doubt it's possible to keep it as short as the Gameplay section. I'll try to trim as much as possible, but some significant details might be left out. κατάσταση 18:17, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
- There's no one-stop shop for reviews of older games, but you'll want to check the PC/Mac mags of the day, wherever they are archived and/or indexed. MobyGames is generally the place to start for older reviews. If none are listed, you can try searching the OCR'd magazines uploaded to the Internet Archive. Then you hit the academic databases (use the fire hose)—LexisNexis, EBSCOhost, ProQuest—especially for historical newspapers, to see what kind of coverage it got in papers outside of dedicated magazines. czar 19:33, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
