Death By Cube
[edit]- ... that when enemies in the Xbox Live Arcade game Death By Cube are killed, they explode into gushes of red oil that resembles blood?
- ALT 2 ... that the Xbox Live Arcade game Death By Cube was one of the bloodiest games to appear at the 2009 Tokyo Game Show?

- Article is new (Jan 21), length is fine, appropriate neutral. Content appropriate for a video game article.
- Hook is a bit weird (length, citation is fine). Is there any reason why its oil that resembles blood? Possibly something along these lines, but instead adding a bit from here [1]? As it reads, it sounds like any other video game and thus doesn't lead to an interesting hook.
- Appears to be first DYK for nominator.
- No images.
- Fixing the hook to give a bit more bite and this is then probably is fine.
- Response by Sven Manguard Wha?
- Thanks for finding that article, I just added it in. I'll post a new hook above as well.
- It is my second DYK, actually, my first (and only) was Faery: Legends of Avalon, another poorly reviewed XBLA game.
- There wouldn't be any free images for this.
- Response by Sven Manguard Wha?
- Oh, yea, just making a note there's no image to worry about commenting on (per the review list above). Having only 1 DYK in your pocket's fine, just needed to affirm that per the quid pro quo approach. As for the new blurb, I'd just add the year of the TGS that was observed in, and it should be fine.

- I added 2009 in. The referenced article was written in 2009, the game came out in 2010 before the 2010 TGS, so while 2009 isn't explicitly stated in the article, I really don't see it as being OR. Sven Manguard Wha? 01:42, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
- It is 2009 [2] (another article to possibly add). I'll assume you can put that in, and thus ....
