GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   B. MoS compliance:

   Only one bit of the prose bothered me, I felt it was better to introduce basic game mechanics before the protagonist in the gameplay section and dealt with that myself.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   There's a good amount of primary sourcing, but the information imparted is perfectly encyclopedic for the topic, so I'd be inclined to overlook that. However, should you find secondary sources that also cover the same information, then be sure to replace the primary sources.

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

   Reception isn't particularly strong, but then I'm imagining that's because indy games tend towards less mainstream coverage. Accounting for that, its fine.

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

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:

   Do we really need two images? I'm imagining that a single screenshot could be created that displays the fishy environments provided by File:Aquaria home waters.jpg and the musical selection menu shown by File:AquariaRing.jpg. In any case, both images have really lacking rationales and I'd say are far too high a resolution for non-free content.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Sorry for the time taken to get to doing the review after I said I would do it; I got buried in offline work. In any case, we've got an effective and sufficient article here, so I'm more than willing to pass it if we can resolve the image concerns.

Thanks a bunch for the review; I'll try to get a good screenshot tonight to replace the two images. --PresN 20:54, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Alright, images replaced with a new screenshot, and I added alt text while I was at it. --PresN 03:58, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok, that deals with that nicely. Article passed. -- 13:05, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
