Video game quiz

[Jouzou]

Here's a little video game quiz I made for you. This is pretty much based on the games I've loved and played a lot, so I'm not even trying to claim that it measures your general knowledge of video games. This is not at all serious competition, but rather something to do on the coffee break. That being said, please be honest to keep this somewhat interesting (that means, no using google and no peeking the right answers, which I'll add to the end).

Oh, and there are no Civilization-related questions for obvious reasons.

Correct answers and comments:

Spoiler :

1.b: Pillar of Autumn
I don't actually know anything about the Halo franchise after Halo 2. I took the other ships from a Halo wiki.

2.c: Santa Claus
You can also speak to Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. Personally, I would've preferred a leprechaun.

3. c: Nathan Zachary
Nathan is an air pirate whose adventures you'll follow in the game. The other characters are from the game as well, but they're your enemies. Charlie Steele is actually a woman, although her nickname suggests otherwise.

4. a: Valkyrie
Zyme and Spank are novelty drugs in Deus Ex and GTA 3, respectively.

5. b: Deus Ex
GTA 2 features an evil corpration called Zaibatsu and Red Faction has Ultor Corporation.

6. c: The Forelli family
All three are Liberty City mafia families in the GTA universe.

7: b: Zone of the Enders
All three are Hideo Kojima games, but Policenauts and Snatcher were released before the PS2 era.

8. a: Razputin
Grigori Rasputin was a Russian monk who was believed to have mystic powers. He became a favourite of the Russian court and caused a lot of controversy. Legend has it that he was shot, poisoned and beaten. His body was later found in the River Neva, and the autopsy showed that he had died...of drowning.

Raskolnikov is the protagonist of Dostoyevsky's classic novel "Crime and Punishment"

There is no particular reason for Razberry. I thought it just sounded funny and kind of fit there.

9. c: Glenn
Sir Cyrus was the legendary hero who was Glenn's role model (and the glorious leader of Persia. Ha! Looks like there was a way to include a Civ reference here after all). No real reason for Arthur; I thought it would be a plausible name for a hero from the Middle Ages.

10. b: Bees
Seriously. He controls a large swarm of bees and he can make them attack you directly or give him weapons. The other powers are in the game too, however; Volgin has the power of electricity and The Fear (and to some extent, The End) have invisibility.

Well, that's about it. Hope you enjoyed it.

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

Is it bad that I got none of them?

 

[NickyJ]

Is it bad that I got none of them?

This coming from another person who got none of them: No.

 

[landlubber]

I got two, I think.

 

[classical_hero]

None and if I did the quiz and got answers right, it would be random guesses, rather than knowing the answer properly.

 

[Skwink]

I'm calling this quiz incomplete as it fails to mention TF2, HL 1 or 2, or even L4D.

 

[Adam7Eight]

I got 5 right, and 3 of them were just lucky guesses.

 

[Perfection]

I got 5 all were complete guesses.

 

[SamSniped]

No CoD4? The best CoD game that is still played?

 

[Yoshiegg737]

I only got the Chrono Trigger question correct

 

[GamezRule]

I knew one and got it right. Guessed on the others.

 

[Snerk]

I only got two. The Psychonauts one was the only one I knew for sure.

 

[GamezRule]

Better question. On what ship did Halo Reach end?

 

[Skwink]

Also better question: Who is G-Man?

 

[Mosher]

I got two right.

 

[ZeletDude]

I got question 6 right.. ;|

 

[SouthernKing]

I got the question about MGS3 right, that's it.
