Dan can equip a shield to defend against attacks, though they can only take so much damage before breaking. - Does here mean weapon degrading? So much mean how much?
green ones offer Dan information and blue merchant gargoyles where Dan can buy services or ammunition using treasure he finds. - Personal opinion, not compulsory, but I would rephrase it into: green ones offer Dan information while blue ones allow Dan to buy services or ammunition bu using the treasures he finds.
(it will deplete completely if Dan drowns or falls from a great height) - The bracket is not really necessary. I will suggest to make it a standalone sentence
The game received positive reviews upon release and was also commercially successful - Any actual sales figures?
Unfortunately information (along with every other 90s GA I have under my belt) is scarce and I couldn't find any specific sales figures for this game. This is by all means not approved of by
WP:VG/RS but
according to this website it sold 830,000 copies worldwide, though I'm sceptical on using that as a reference... ☠Jaguar☠11:58, 26 April 2015 (UTC)reply
Is "Gaming ExpoReception" even something reliable or notable?
I had thoughts on removing this as I found it wasn't notable enough whilst looking for sources. I could not find any decent information that this game won any awards (I'm sure it did), although its sequel, MediEvil II won a couple of awards. I've removed this entirely ☠Jaguar☠11:58, 26 April 2015 (UTC)reply
When I removed it I noticed it made the opening paragraph very short, so I merged it with the main one, if you don't mind? ☠Jaguar☠11:59, 26 April 2015 (UTC)reply
GameRevolution similary praised the humour but criticised the game for being too straightforward and "easy to master" Game Revolution, it has a space in between
I actually think that there is not enough sources for the gameplay section. The last sentence in the music section as well as the second sentence in the reception section also need a source
Added some for the music section and also I've used an overview by IGN for some parts of the gameplay. I also found another detailed review. Hope this is OK ☠Jaguar☠12:04, 26 April 2015 (UTC)reply
It is a very well-written articles. Very precise and focused, lead can is engaging enough and summarize everything, and that the development section is very comprehensive. The only issues I notice is that the articles don't have enough sources. If that is fixed, the article is good to go. GA review – see
WP:WIAGA for criteria
Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose is "
clear and
concise", without
copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
I will leave it on hold for a week. if the source problems is fixed, I will promote it to GA. Good luck!

AdrianGamer: thanks for the review! I think I've addressed all of the above, want to take a look? As for the sales figures, I couldn't find anything reliable or supported by
WP:VG/RS but it's up to you if I should include it anyway. Thanks again ☠Jaguar☠12:15, 26 April 2015 (UTC)reply
The first 2 problem I mentioned, and the template of
File:Medievil cover.jpg (MediEvil (video game), not MediEvil) still need to be addressed. The last sentence in the music section about the album and the second section of the reception section about the Halloween-influenced atmosphere (Halloween is not spell correctly in that sentence) still need reference. For the sales, if it is not supported by reliable sources then it shouldn't be included. However, if it is not included, the game being "commercially successful" should not be mentioned.

I think I've fixed the template problem of the cover image and also I've found the entry for being able to buy the album through the artist's online store (ref added). Fixed the typo and also added references where you mentioned. I removed the commercial part as I'm not too sure on using that reference, though I'll have a look through VG:RS to see if I can use anything else in the mean time. What do you think now,
AdrianGamer? ☠Jaguar☠12:35, 26 April 2015 (UTC)reply
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
– I propose that the current
MediEvil article should be renamed to
MediEvil (series) and the actual game should be renamed to "MediEvil" to avoid confusion. I don't think it is much of a series as it consists of two games and a remake, and nobody would confuse the first game with anything else. – JAGUAR13:24, 24 May 2015 (UTC)reply
Oppose. I'm not seeing a claim that the first video game in the series is more notable than the series as a whole, and from what I am seeing, it's not.

Perhaps I worded it wrong, it's VG convention to usually put the first games in a series as its title, and the name of the series as 'x (series)' for example JAGUAR18:02, 24 May 2015 (UTC)reply
@
Jaguar: As an editor who has looked at and tweaked
WP:NCVG, I can tell you that is not the case. The part of the page which you are referring is there to give editors advice on how to name the article in the event that the article that needs renaming has to be at a title other than the ambiguous title (which, in this case, world be "MediEvil".) The move request you are asking to do is actually requesting that a different article be deemed the
primary topic. (You may or may not be aware of this, so I'm assuming your stance based on your previous comment. So, if I am wrong, I apologize.)

You're right, though I think that the series that consists of two games isn't notable enough to have its own page, there are other games such as Wipeout that has the first instalment as the original name, and
Wipeout (series) respectively. I'm neutral on renaming this, although it would be nicer for this to be called MediEvil. Anyway, I've just nominated this at FAC, so I think it would be best to close this request now JAGUAR21:08, 26 May 2015 (UTC)reply
