Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack!
- ... that video game developer Be-Rad Entertainment created Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack! using code repurposed from Lame Castle, its previous release? Source: "My previous game was similar so I could reuse some of the code."[1] This "previous game" was Lame Castle.[2]
- ALT1:... that the video game Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack! pits the player against the protagonist of the Serious Sam series? Source: "Kamikaze Attack tells its story from the perspective of a Headless Kamikaze, as he desperately attempts to explode [Sam "Serious" Stone,] the iron-jawed hero."[3]
- ALT2:... that video game developer Be-Rad Entertainment offered its first game, Lame Castle, for free upon the release of Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack!, its second? Source: "In celebration of its second game, Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack, hitting the App Store, independent developer Be-Rad Entertainment is quite literally giving Lame Castle HD away."[4]

Is there a reason that Metacritic includes the review from Modojo in its normalised rating but its excluded in the wiki article? Also its really well written article so well done. Hook 1 is the best :) → Lil-℧niquԐ1 - (Talk) - 19:37, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Lil-unique1: thanks for your review! I chose to only include reviews from sources already considered as reliable by the Video games WikiProject (see WP:VG/RS), and this just happened to be all except Modojo. The site's review also does not include anything that is not already stated in the article (in both fact and opinion), so I would argue that it does not need inclusion. Could you clarify whether "Hook 1" refers to the first hook (a.k.a. ALT0) or ALT1? Regards, IceWelder [✉] 19:58, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- @IceWelder: I see, it is a bit strange to exclude it from the article on wikipedia if we're reporting the metacritic score but I see there is a valid reason for its exclusion. On that basis I'll pass this for use on DYK with Hook 0 (your original hook). → Lil-℧niquԐ1 - (Talk) - 20:04, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Lil-unique1: Thank you again! I changed the hook very minorly ("developed" → "created") to avoid repetition. I hope this doesn't pose an issue. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 20:42, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
