Oblivion

I changed it from March to early 2006. Although it IS most likely it will be in March anyway, no official date has been set. Change after one is. JONJONAUG 21:18, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seasons and video games

Autumn, spring, summer and winter. It's the four seasons, but they are not good to use when telling the world when things like a new video game will come. It works in one country, likte the UK or the USA, but not the whole world. Some people, like the Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Chileans or Argentinians, will be very confused with this. If someone on the Northern Hemisphere "spring", it's then they have their autumn. And winter? On the Northern Hemisphere, the year both starts and ends during winter months (Like summer on the Southern Hemisphere). It's better to write the months, like "May 2006", or "early 2006", "mid 2006", "late 2006" and "Christmas 2006".

I changed it to more "official" video game terminology (such as Quarter 1, etc). bob rulz 20:54, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dominant Consoles

As well as I think Revolution will do, the ommission of XBox 360 and PS3 from that list is obviously POV. I will change it. 68.4.212.158 02:23, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some changes

I made some changes to this page. If someone should disagree, comment here before reverting or something like that... Azertus 16:28, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Significant Games

Do all the games have to be in America? Because Mother 3 seems significant, but it's only in Japan. I'll add it, and their are any problems, then mention it here. Barrylocke 13:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC) Barrylocke[reply]

I really think this list needs to be culled a little - I really don't think titles like "X-Men: The Official Game", and "Sonic Riders" have any place on the list, given that both have fared badly in reviews, and will hardly be considered "significant" in five years time. Any thoughts? -al 11:13, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kingdom Hearts II

I added the release dates for Kingdom Hearts II across Europe and Australia. The Autralian date was already on the game's main page before I got here, but I added the European date there as well. It should be noted that it isn't actually official, as Square-Enix still state the date as Autumn 2006, but many online versions of UK videogame outlets such as GAME and HMV have now got this date as the expected. GameFAQs now also has the European date on the game's main page, citing it as "official".

Events

It's the end of 2006 and the events list only has events from January. This needs to be fixed. --Rodzilla 05:41, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notable Releases

The notable releases list is way too long. Remember, it's Notable releases, not "Every Game Released This Year." It's incredibly difficult to scan the list for the major titles of the year when there's so many meaningless titles included. --Rodzilla 05:46, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
