I've had a look through the whole entry, and made some changes. Most are fairly minor ones, the odd sentence rearranged, or rephrased, that sort of thing. The biggest change is the paragraph on motorbikes that I've added, as I hadn't mentioned them before.
The only problem point I might have with the entry as it stands is the final paragraph, where I list the games in the series, and the formats they are released on. I haven't been able to find any ommisions here, and I've tried to be as thorough as I can, visiting a number of sites that seem comprehensive. However, if you know of any I've missed, please let me know.
Apart from that, I think the entry is ready, but would still like your comments on the entry.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.
If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.
Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Great, it's been recommended.

Hi Silverfish,
I'm your friendly, neighbourhood Sub-editor for this entry . You can check out how I'm butchering your brainchild at A1148186 , any complaints can be registered here - they might even be listened to , (or not, depending on how I feel at the time).
I'll be in touch before I send this onwards, or sooner if I have any queries.

Butchering just about complete .
I'll leave the article 'til Monday - if I haven't heard anything from you by then I'll pass it on up the line.

Hi Wildman. I just thought I'd say I fine with the changes. The only niggle I can see is from an inconsistency in the original text. I've referred to the 'score multiplier' at times, whereas at other times I've referred to the 'bonus multiplier'. Could you make sure they all read bonus multiplier, as they are the same thing. I think I've only used the former in the 'earning points' section.
Thanks
Silverfish

Silverfish,
I've changed that - but rather than changing them all to bonus multiplier, I've actually changed them all to score multiplier on the grounds that it is the score that is multiplied and not your bonuses .
I've now sent it on its way to the Editors and you should see it next on the front page in due time .
Well done!
Wildman
