RE: Gametoken Tutorial - Please Read
It all looks right to me. The only thing I would add is a section on the mission:checkgametoken node, as that one's pretty important (and it's the only one missing).
*edit: You may want to include some kind of a warning that it's an advanced tutorial, as game tokens shouldn't really be tackled until you know your way around a FG.

I honestly have no idea. I've never used it, and I can't really tell by looking at it. The description says "game token set/get", but since it only has the input, output, and token ports I'm not sure how it should be used.

RE: Gametoken Tutorial - Please Read
All I know is that they are sometimes used as trigger by Crytek, to check other game tokens. Check the Sphere map and search around the jeep chase flowgrpah.
I would write it as :
They can trigger triggers with no input.
That may not be their actual use but that's my assumption on them.

GameTokens are Global Variables.
Basically, setting a game token is like saying
Todays_Date= June 2nd + Additional Date Keeping Apparatus
And then from then on in your scripting, FG'in all you have to do to state the proper date is access the GameToken of Today's_Date. Which will then activate "Additional Date Keeping Apparatus" in relation to June 2nd, which is just an arbitrary date set by the grapher.
Mission: GameToken is used in the same way as SetString or SetNumber, you are declaring a variable. However, by choosing to store the variable as a game token you are saying that you intend to use the variable as a global variable as opposed to a local one, in which case SetString, or SetNumber would be better choices.
Mission: SetGameToken is used in the same way as a SetString => DisplayDebugMessage or a SetNumber => Math node combination. It's also used to change the value of a GameToken but without changing it's type.
Mission: ModifyGameToken is used to change the type from boolean to string or something like that. Otherwise I don't see why you'd need it.
Mission: CheckGameToken checks for the contents of the value of your gametoken for something particularly specific.
Mission: GetGameToken is used to make the circumstances in which you check for the contents of the value of your gametoken into something particularly specific.
