---

Sorry, but this article does not currently meet criteria for a good article. Unreleased games that are not solidly cancelled or in limbo (ie are undergoing active development) are inherently unstable as new information can come out rapidly and change the entire nature of the article. This is still in early development, I would expect it to double in size by release. Once released and fleshed out, it will be a possible contender for GA, but until such time it cannot pass.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   Existing prose is reasonable

   B. MoS compliance:

   Current structure is rather poor, with unnecessarily short subsections that could be merged to create a more presentable structure.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

   The referencing is quite good, keep that up as the game develops

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

   The lack of any substantial gameplay, plot or reception information at present frankly blows a rather large hole in the side of this nomination. It is far from comprehensive, especially as sources for these will materialise in due course.

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   No neutrality problems

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   As the game is unreleased and undergoing active development, significant amounts of information will present themselves later, fleshing out all the major aspects required in a good video game article. Unless development grounds to a halt and the game is cancelled, or the game is released, there are inherent stability issues, even if these are not edit wars.

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   I have little choice but to fail the article. Sorry, but the information in it isn't as substantial as it should be, and it will have a signficiant influx of new information as development progresses. -- Sabre (talk) 23:40, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
