Talk:Scorched Earth (computer game)

From Pee Review

I want to see if this is good or not for the Featured Articles--Nightmare975 10:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Humour:	2	I struggled to discern the tiny clutch of semi-jokes hiding in this article. The signal to noise ratio is way too high. Jokes about console power and 'realistic' graphics could be combined into a single sentence; but they're stretched over the entire article.
Concept:	2	I'm sure an article about simple artillery sims could be made funny, I just don't know how.
Prose and formatting:	3	The writing is OK. Shame there's so little humour.
Images:	1	There's some images. That's it. None are funny.
Miscellaneous:	1	Not enough jokes, and there's no real central concept to drive the humour along.
Final Score:	9	I hate to say it, but this may actually be an article which can be improved by adding refs to Mr T, Jesus, Chuck Norris,Hitler and kitten huffing. You could try adding sections which outline nonsensical strategies and jargon, like it's a complicated RTS or something. Or a detailed 'plot' summary.

Some humour is tough because of the limited audience. I remember Scorched Earth, but the other references flumox me. I'm trying to think of how to make it funny, but my state of flumoxation is getting in the way...you know that Scorched Earth was a drinking game, right? There's got to be something in that.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
