Hello User:Thibbs& User:Czar
Is Gamekult a good candidate to be added in the custom search engine https://www.gamekult.com/ ? I wich to add it, if it match... This is one of the two major french sites (with jeuxvideo.com). It includes pro reviewers, who write preview, review, special featured articles about video game industry or video games (main part of featured articles requires payment needed), and it cover the major part of the internationnal releases of the VG industry with articles and news articles.
There are also reader's contributions review and notation system. But all anonymous/readers content is well stamped and recognizable.
Example with a game linked on the home page today morning : https://www.gamekult.com/jeux/rage-3010004273.html
The navigation bar at the top of the page provides links to an overview page titled "Résumé" with general informations such as release date/plat-form/companys involved, the review ("Test" in french, if exist), some stuff like pictures, videos, tips an tricks, then a "critiques" tab (readers review) and then the last tab called "News" is where you can find articles and news articles when the website covers a video game history and release.

It's a Japanese television show that is an odd mix of documentary series, reality tv, and game show. Typically, the show will introduce and discuss games, and the narrator will go over gameplay mechanics, a brief bit of information on the game and its history. They also have sections discussing the history of various other games as a kind of filler segments. I would think that the narrator sections would be RS, but Arino Shinya's comments wouldn't be notable enough since he's just a comedian playing a game he has no experience with. Also, the first season aimed for more of a documentary approach, and heavily featured game dev interviews. GC:CX also has spin-off series of dvd documentaries containing overviews and interviews with game devs.
If it was a pure documentary format, I would think it would definitely be an RS, but people think of it more of as a gameshow. The first season interviews, and spin-off documentary series would count as RS, but the main show is a bit strange. Would this count as a RS? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harizotoh9 ( talk • contribs) 09:53, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Like Shmuplations, this site has a ton of translated interviews from Japanese game devs alongside other original, interesting articles. Problem is, the about us page is a bit thin: the staff uses pseudonyms and none of 'em seem to have visible credentials. I'm inclined to say unreliable, but I'd like other opinions on this.

I was told here to post from the reliable sources noticeboard. I am looking for a reliable source for Pokemon in-game data such as moves, abilities, etc. when they merit inclusion in a Pokemon's article, and the PS Pokedex [31] may be it. Bulbapedia is definitely unreliable, and it appears Serebii is as well. The Showdown Pokedex is not user-edited; any proposed changes to its repository [32] must be committed by the senior developers of PS. These developers regularly research and test in-game data and mechanics for accuracy, eg here [33] here [34] and here [35]. The dex contains no opinion information and is among the closest things to an authoritative source on in-game data in Pokemon, as far as I'm aware.

Reading old gaming mags I came across an old German magazine called Maniac (branded Man!ac). They have a modern site, and it looks like they've been publishing their old game reviews online for the last few years. An online archive of old magazine reviews is much easier to search than print text. The only thing that seems to be missing from the online ones is that they don't include scores for graphics and sound, only the overall score, and it seems to be missing the pictures and the captions. Other pages just record the score, but don't have any text.
I've checked, and it doesn't look like the site is used much, or even at all on WP. An old gaming mag is far better than some modern fan site. And many of the games they reviewed have articles on Wikipedia with few sources.
For example, compare this Demon's Crest review, and you'll see it's the exact same text:

People Make Games is a YouTube channel run by Chris Bratt, a former editor for Eurogamer, [37] that presents retrospectives on older games with previously little known info and interviews with people connected to mentioned projects.

Revisiting per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Toast Time. I agree that I currently wouldn't consider this site reliable on its face. Our last significant discussion was in 2014 and a recurring defense has been its precedent of usage (it's linked 1100+ times on WP). Looks like it didn't have an editorial policy or background on editors back then either. So it would have to be in some high regard from its peers to warrant carte blanche "reliable" status...

Viz Communications published Game On! USA in 1996, a video game news and manga magazine. It went under after 7 issues, and after that the writers migrated to the Viz communications site j-pop.com to continue in the games section. The site published reviews and features from 96-00. A bit of an obscure site, but since it's published by Viz media, it should be fine right? I've read a few of their reviews and features, and haven't seen any errors or mistakes. I don't think I've seen the site used or discussed anywhere. Harizotoh9 ( talk) 09:22, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello! I edit several game articles and have an issue with using NintendoLife as a source. It seems to be considered a reliable source and is noted for posting factual information. However I come across several issues with the site frequently, that put this into doubt.
There seems to be a problem with quality control in regards to factual information, and author reliability. For instance, on Nintendo Switch they reported that Puzzle Bubble 1 and 2 would be released in same week (no source provided), when in fact it was just for Puzzle Bubble 1 couple weeks ago. Also note the use of NES screen shots for an arcade emulation release - please see http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/12/arcade_archives_donkey_kong_jr_is_swinging_onto_a_switch_near_you_this_week.
There is also strong allegations of posting incorrect news and clickbait news stories with altered facts. Please see: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/future_business_shift_could_see_nintendo_move_away_from_home_console_development , where in fact in their comments section people have stated how the original source has been twisted as if Nintendo could be moving away fro console gaming, whereas in fact it is more about future proofing their business via innovative means. Last year lone, there was an issue with their guides that contain incorrect information - http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/11/guide_how_to_get_to_the_power_plant_and_capture_zapdos_in_pokemon_lets_go_on_nintendo_switch "If you played Pokémon Red, Blue or Yellow back in the day, you'll know all about the fabled Power Plant. Here, you could capture yourself a level 50 Zapdos, challenge the Elite Four..." . Don't think I need to explain that one. Dark Samus ( talk) 19:28, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Also, the first season aimed for more of a documentary approach, and heavily featured game dev interviews. GC:CX also has spin-off series of dvd documentaries containing overviews and interviews with game devs.
If it was a pure documentary format, I would think it would definitely be an RS, but people think of it more of as a gameshow. The first season interviews, and spin-off documentary series would count as RS, but the main show is a bit strange. Would this count as a RS? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harizotoh9 ( talk • contribs) 09:53, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

AtariHQ is currently listed as a reliable source and there have been four discussions. [26] I have found two game reviews attributed to Keita Iida of AtariHQ appear to be modified from older magazine reviews. Here's one example from the AtariHQ review of Super Breakout for the Atari 5200:

Like Shmuplations, this site has a ton of translated interviews from Japanese game devs alongside other original, interesting articles. Problem is, the about us page is a bit thin: the staff uses pseudonyms and none of 'em seem to have visible credentials. I'm inclined to say unreliable, but I'd like other opinions on this.

I was told here to post from the reliable sources noticeboard. I am looking for a reliable source for Pokemon in-game data such as moves, abilities, etc. when they merit inclusion in a Pokemon's article, and the PS Pokedex [31] may be it. Bulbapedia is definitely unreliable, and it appears Serebii is as well. The Showdown Pokedex is not user-edited; any proposed changes to its repository [32] must be committed by the senior developers of PS. These developers regularly research and test in-game data and mechanics for accuracy, eg here [33] here [34] and here [35]. The dex contains no opinion information and is among the closest things to an authoritative source on in-game data in Pokemon, as far as I'm aware.

Strictly a blog, it is "still mostly managed by a single personal" but also features guest bloggers (which implies a form of editorial oversight). Quality seems to be above average. Alexis Jazz ( talk) 21:45, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Reading old gaming mags I came across an old German magazine called Maniac (branded Man!ac). They have a modern site, and it looks like they've been publishing their old game reviews online for the last few years. An online archive of old magazine reviews is much easier to search than print text. The only thing that seems to be missing from the online ones is that they don't include scores for graphics and sound, only the overall score, and it seems to be missing the pictures and the captions. Other pages just record the score, but don't have any text.
I've checked, and it doesn't look like the site is used much, or even at all on WP. An old gaming mag is far better than some modern fan site. And many of the games they reviewed have articles on Wikipedia with few sources.
For example, compare this Demon's Crest review, and you'll see it's the exact same text:

People Make Games is a YouTube channel run by Chris Bratt, a former editor for Eurogamer, [37] that presents retrospectives on older games with previously little known info and interviews with people connected to mentioned projects. The channel is similar to Noclip by Danny O'Dwyer, which we consider reliable as far as I am concerned. Lordtobi ( ✉) 18:01, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Revisiting per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Toast Time. I agree that I currently wouldn't consider this site reliable on its face. Our last significant discussion was in 2014 and a recurring defense has been its precedent of usage (it's linked 1100+ times on WP). Looks like it didn't have an editorial policy or background on editors back then either. So it would have to be in some high regard from its peers to warrant carte blanche "reliable" status... Anyone up for some sleuthing? czar 02:33, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Viz Communications published Game On! USA in 1996, a video game news and manga magazine. It went under after 7 issues, and after that the writers migrated to the Viz communications site j-pop.com to continue in the games section. The site published reviews and features from 96-00. A bit of an obscure site, but since it's published by Viz media, it should be fine right? I've read a few of their reviews and features, and haven't seen any errors or mistakes. I don't think I've seen the site used or discussed anywhere. Harizotoh9 ( talk) 09:22, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello! I edit several game articles and have an issue with using NintendoLife as a source. It seems to be considered a reliable source and is noted for posting factual information. However I come across several issues with the site frequently, that put this into doubt.
There seems to be a problem with quality control in regards to factual information, and author reliability. For instance, on Nintendo Switch they reported that Puzzle Bubble 1 and 2 would be released in same week (no source provided), when in fact it was just for Puzzle Bubble 1 couple weeks ago. Also note the use of NES screen shots for an arcade emulation release - please see http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/12/arcade_archives_donkey_kong_jr_is_swinging_onto_a_switch_near_you_this_week.
There is also strong allegations of posting incorrect news and clickbait news stories with altered facts. Please see: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/future_business_shift_could_see_nintendo_move_away_from_home_console_development , where in fact in their comments section people have stated how the original source has been twisted as if Nintendo could be moving away fro console gaming, whereas in fact it is more about future proofing their business via innovative means. Last year lone, there was an issue with their guides that contain incorrect information - http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/11/guide_how_to_get_to_the_power_plant_and_capture_zapdos_in_pokemon_lets_go_on_nintendo_switch "If you played Pokémon Red, Blue or Yellow back in the day, you'll know all about the fabled Power Plant. Here, you could capture yourself a level 50 Zapdos, challenge the Elite Four..." . Don't think I need to explain that one. Dark Samus ( talk) 19:28, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

There's been a bit of discussion at WT:VG about this, but I also wanted to bring it here. Metro is a Daily Mail (which is widely considered unreliable) sister site that frequently covers the video game spectrum. An analysis here shows that it has a lot of the same problems of the Mail. I'm going to say this is unreliable. JOE BRO 64 19:50, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
