This reads like an advert to me. (unsigned)

Agreed. That said, the information is sound and well-researched, though I might be inclined to bring up questions of notability. I'll take a look at revising it somewhat in the next few days, but other people's thoughts would be interesting. --Lawlore 00:11, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

As far as I know, that comment was refering to this version before I expanded and cleaned up the article. Either way, any way of improving the article sounds good to me. --Oakster 10:17, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Tags at beginning of article

The tags at the beginning of the article state that the information is disputed, and uses excessive cliches and jargon. Their is no discussion on this matter on the talkpage, and I disagree with theses statements, and will remove them in roughly a week, if no reason is given for this here. Discuss. - JohnstonDJ 14:41, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh and I agree with not many articles linking here, so Ill do my best to add in articles like business emulation, etx, if it is relevant. but until then i think that tag should stay. - JohnstonDJ 14:41, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

My concerns about this article

- The importance tag is warranted as the article doesn't in my opinion address the importance of Extreme Warfare and why it warrants a Misplaced Pages entry. - As far as Notability, I don't think it meets WP:WEB. - There is a lot of stuff which I don't think is relevent that's included in the article. Just one example is "After release of EW 9000, Extreme Warfare met its main rival. A game called Promotion Wars was released by fellow British programmer Adam Jennings, taking some inspiration from both Extreme Warfare 9000 and Championship Manager. After the game's release, some of Extreme Warfare's fan base shifted their interest over to this game when released in October 2000." Why does this matter? - Advertisement: I think this article is not much more than an advertisement for Extreme Warfare. - Cliche/jargon: Just look at the first paragraph. "card based role-playing game based on wrestling." That means...what exactly? "extremely low-tech 2-player promoter game" huh? And the same reaction is sparked on my part by the many other similar cliches/jargon that run throughout the article.JB196 21:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Defense

- Notability: TEW 2005 (and 2004 before it) were commercially available PC games. There are wiki articles about other such sports management games. An example of another one that started off freeware and became a commercial product is EHM, a hockey simulator that Sega now publishes. Theres even a wiki article about one is still freeware, Bygfoot, a football managment game.

- Advetisement: It talks a lot about the history of the series. Only one of the games is even available anymore, so the majority can't be considered "advertising".

- Cliche: "card based role-playing game based on wrestling." That means...what exactly? " It means a tabletop game about wrestling, that uses cards. Apparently that was the first version of this game before it was turned into a computer game. Promoter game is referring to the concept where you play as a wrestling promoter, instead of a wrestler. This game is basically the biggest "promoter game" around.--4.156.6.89 17:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Extreme Warfare is still available via download and other means.

What exactly do you mean by "commercially available"?JB196 23:18, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

For sale, not free. And the Extreme Warfare games (all freeware) are not available to download form any official website, but yeah there are probably still some places to download them on the internet. --4.156.6.211 11:28, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
