Name the Game - Close and Personal #01 (difficulty: ★★★☆☆)

[mikeleddy83]

It's been a while since I posted a quiz and the timing feels right (this time without the additional rules).



Name the game each zoomed image is taken from, best answer gets the point (feel free to challenge others ). Have fun!

Nice work, that's a good 75% of the answers in just 2 days.

Might be time to throw a few hints out there, I'm sure one of these will have you kicking yourselves

So, the hints are the platforms these games were released on at launch:

1. Xbox 360
4. Wii
6. Sega Genesis/Mega Drive
14. PS3 & Xbox 360
17. iOS

[ratsoalbion]

4: Monster Hunter Tri

[dezm0nd]

14. Dark Souls? Looks like the catacombs

[PressEscToExit]

1: Ninja Gaiden 2?

[Roy42]

17. Real Racing

[mikeleddy83]

Just 2 left, this should make them easy:

6. Based on the the highly successful movie released 6 years prior to this game. Strangely the game omitted a fourth protagonist/playable character who had appeared in both the movie and its sequel.
17. Drag-racing gameplay publicly shown at Apples WWDC 2012 conference. A freemium model with a heavy emphasis on in-app-purchases left the game divisive to many upon release.

[Bakers_12]

6 Adams family

[mikeleddy83]

6 Adams family

Very close, the supernatural theme is there for sure

[Baron Phil]

6 Ghostbusters
17 CSR racing?

[mikeleddy83]

Nice, that wraps it up! Good job all, I'll try to get another quiz together ASAP.

Edit - Or maybe longer, shit week here. Think I'm going into hiding for a while.
