List of Gizmondo games

[edit]

Heres a list I worked on based on the List of Virtual Boy games format, which is featured. I used several different references including IGN, Gamespot, and Modojo.-- Coasttocoast (talk) 01:07, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Awesome list! Very nicely done. I only have one small suggestions: the publisher values in the General references (IGN, Gamespot, etc), should be wikilinked. Drewcifer (talk) 09:17, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and also, an External links section would be good. Drewcifer (talk) 20:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why not make the list sortable and remove the "alphabetically" from the lead? All columns would work really well, you could split EU and US release dates into separate columns (and thus avoid any MOS issues using those flags) and the table would become inherently more useful. Plus, it'd help fill out the width since right now it's struggling to fill the screen!
  • No image at all? Nothing? Seems a shame.
  • Not sure why 14 is bold in the lead. You could always start the lead with "This is a list of games for the Gizmondo console." and then carry on to discuss and link stuff like you already have.
  • When was the DS launched in the US (for comparison sake, you state when it was released in Europe)?
  • I think blue tooth should always be Bluetooth.
  • "25,000 unit sold" - units.
  • "GPS" - explain to non-experts.
  • "multilayer features" what does that mean?
  • "The accessibility to purchase Gizmondo games was limited. In the United States, games were only available trough a small numbers ..."
    • First sentence is odd - the availability of Gizmondo games was limited?
    • trough - I guess this is through.
  • No references for the claims in the lead.
  • General ref "Gamespot Gizmondo game datebase" - database?
  • "Many unreleased games were playable at E3 and at CES. Many screenshots of cancelled games were also released." does this have a reference?

So I have to oppose at the moment with so many concerns. I'm sure they can be remedied and please let me know when you'd like me to look the article again. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:47, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Withdrawal After re-checking the list I found out that the sources I used contradict eachother. For example IGN states that Motorcross 2005 was developed Fathammer, but Gamespot says the game was developed by Housemarque. IGN and Gamespot are both reliable sources so I don't who is right. Almost every game on the list is contradicted by different sources. -- Coasttocoast (talk) 22:39, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
