Abe's Oddysee

I'll dig the review out for you, although it may take a day or two due to the magazine being filed away. I only type up the inmportant parts of a review where they have praised or critcised an aspect of a game, I leave out the bits that aren't relevent to a citation. Have a look at this review piece that I did for another user. I'll also provide a citation block with the key points filled in. - X201 17:35, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks very much - that'd be brilliant. —Abraham Lure 18:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Review
Fate cruelly intervened between Edge and Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee when the game was originally released for the Playstation in Autumn last year. For in many ways this is a classic Edge title; a tight 2D platformer that's packed with great innovative touches and some great character design.

Following Abe's quest as he struggles to save his Mudokan people from the monstrous food factory where they're about to be demoted from slaves to consumables, Oddworld could almost be defined as a puzzle game. Each successive flipped screen offers a greater conundrum that must be overcome beforethe Mukodan can be freed from the mystical 'bird portal'. But rather than increasing the complexity of platforms and levers in each section, Abe's creator have given him the ability to communicate with his people. By pressing various number keys, players can make Abe whistle, beckon, laugh, chant - even fart to the other characters, guiding them either to their doom or release.

Changes from the Playstation original are negliable, although the controls are perhaps a little more sluggish. Happily, Oddworld's fantastic graphic style and animation have been retained, with the Mukodans, their Slig guards, and the various other inhabitants all moving around with startling fluidity. For once, the FMV is also worth its CD space, as it blends seemlessly into and out of the action. Edge's only reservation is that PC gamers unaccustomed to such platforming precision may find the experience frustrating - Oddworld demands a certain levelof commitment to progress. Other than that, this is a rewarding and enjoyable game that should tax the mind of even th most hardened player.

Your question

In response to the question you posed at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee/archive1:

Featured article candidacies can last a long time. More people will eventually show up to either throw in their support or opposition, and depending on the overall response, the featured article director (User:Raul654) will decide whether or not consensus has been reached to promote the article. Your job is to settle the concerns other users have about the article until Raul makes his decision. If it doesn't make it through this time, I suggest seeking a peer review and renominating after you get a few suggestions. JimmyBlackwing 00:14, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Ah right, thanks very much.-—Abraham Lure 02:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

FAC

Hey you gave me a couple good suggestions with my FAC, and I'm pretty sure I took care of everything. It's been about a week, and I was just wondering if you thought there was anything else that needed to be done or if you had any more suggestions.--Clyde Miller 20:17, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Oddworld: Abe

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Mudokonpops.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mudokonpops.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Unspecified source for Image:Abefull.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Abefull.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 09:18, 6 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 09:18, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
