GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   "When searching an area for clues to the crime, in some cases, players can also find newspapers." - not a requirement, but I would write "In some cases, when searching an area for clues to the crime, players can also find newspapers."

   What is the name of Phelp's first wife

   "McNamara, said in an interview that " - remove redundant comma

    Done - X201 (talk) 10:38, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

   "Another year on, and in June 2007" - confusing; this may mean in 2007 generally, then June 2007. Why not simply "In June 2007"?

   ", which game a new release window of March 2011" - what does that mean?

    Done - X201 (talk) 10:42, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

   "A trailer for L.A. Noire, called "Serial Killer", that shows 90 seconds of gameplay footage as well as a confirming the games actual release date of 17 May" - incomplete sentence; remove "that". Confirmation, maybe? "the games" - "the game's"?

   "and proprietary tech blew" - tech = technology? There is no such word as "tech", except with context

    Done - X201 (talk) 10:53, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

   "Team Bondi recreated 1940s'" - should be without the apostrophe, imho

   Link "Steam and OnLive." in Technical section

    Done - X201 (talk) 10:57, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

   "The Pass also includes access to two post-launch downloadable content cases," - I would replace the comma with a semicolon or a colon

    Done - X201 (talk) 10:59, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

   "In addition to the purchasable DLC; a machine gun, "The Chicago Piano" and a bonus suit, "The Chicago Lightning", is available to players that sign up for the Rockstar Social Club." - replace semicolon with a comma, add comma after "The Chicago Piano".

   "On 28 September 2011, Rockstar Games announced a PC version of L.A. Noire, dubbed The Complete Edition, it " - start a new sentence or write "containing...", but a comma is incorrect.

   Link in the same section "patch"

   "depiction has been criticised on some points by some architectural and social historians" - can you name examples?

    Done Have removed that line. Checking the ref it seems to be a self published blog so not suitable, the other ref doesn't appear to have anything to do with the claim. - X201 (talk) 13:10, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
