How to get a picture of a person to Commons
[edit]Make sure to ask that the pic be (1) one they have the rights to, most often by being the photographer, or explicitly asking the photographer to release the rights, NOT just some pic they look good in but that was taken by someone else that they can't reach right now (2) released under a free licence, generally http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/, NOT "permission to use on Wikipedia". You'll then need to forward that release to [email protected] (and wait some weeks for the OTRS there to stamp it). - Taken from GRuban
Meteos Reception
[edit]Meteos was highly rated by critics upon release from video game critics; review aggregator Metacritic recorded a score of 88/100. According to UK market research company Chart-Track, after three days of release the game debuted at number one in DS sales for the week of September 24, 2005. Chart-Track's 2005 sales report for the UK ranked the game 46th in the DS category, with sales of about 10,000 copies. By November 12, 2006, it had sold 57,880 copies in Japan.
Game critics compared Meteos to other puzzle games, such as Tetris and Lumines— the latter also released by Q Entertainment for the PlayStation Portable.
Multiple reviewers praised the gameplay. IGN commended its gameplay modes for being individualized and distinctive, while G4 called its multiplayer mode "engrossing". Greg Kasavin of GameSpot also praised the single-player and multiplayer modes, though he described the gameplay to be "fun but formulaic". GameSpy's Phil Theobald criticized Meteos' stylus-driven control theme, considering it the game's chief flaw. A reviewer for Eurogamer noted the issue of "scrubbing", where scrubbing the lower Nintendo DS screen quickly with the stylus would cause Meteos to link together, caling this a "fundamental flaw" that would annoy players in multiplayer mode. Nintendo World Report also noted this "cheat", calling it "bothersome" to beginners. A review from Game Revolution was more critical, calling Meteos' plot "incomprehensible".
The game's visuals and soundtrack garnered praise; IGN described the in-game visuals as "sharp and colorful", and Chris Sell of PALGN noted the distinctive art design and characters. Sell also wrote that the soundtrack "fits the game like a glove", describing it as reminiscent of the soundtrack for Super Smash Bros. Melee (2001). The game's review from Nintendo World Report said music fans would likely find something they liked from the soundtrack's broad selection. According to a GamePro contributor, the soundtrack was fast and relies on sound effects, adding to the game's pace. Greg Kasavin called the soundtrack "outstandingly over-the-top" and said the game's premise justified its pace.
