Remove reference to Felicia Day having praised the game?

This reference feels a bit pointless: Felicia Day has no particular connection to the game and is not an established game critic. If there were at least a little more information, perhaps a meaningful critique or insightful comment that she made, it might be worth keeping in. As it is, the simple fact that '[she] has praised the video game' adds nothing to the article.

Leaving for someone else to remove if they feel likewise.

Changed 'inspired' by language

Changed 'inspired' by language to 'based on' for Dungeon Master, used 'inspired by' for other games. It is easy to see from reviews and from any comparisons of the games that Legend of Grimrock is a copy of Dungeon Master, not 'inspired' by it in any normal sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.226.73.100 (talk) 04:42, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds like a lot of unsourced original research. Please provide a source that it is a direct copy in every aspect, as you've claimed. -- ferret (talk) 13:15, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The reference for the claim that LoG is a copy of DM calls it "a near-facsimile". There's a German source calling it a 'shameless copy' of Dungeon Master, but there are also many discussions on their own forums talking about the copy: http://www.grimrock.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1885 . I think it is clearer to say it is 'based on DM' and 'inspired by' other games.

No, actually, I apologize. I read the change text backwards and thought you had REMOVED the text concerning the inspiration, when you had actually added it. -- ferret (talk) 22:38, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
