You can answer the questions without quoting them. Just list the question number, and then your answer. :P
Can people please stop answering the question categories? LoL. ;)
Psychotic's score:
4 correct answers given out of 10 attempted.
Had to accept your first answer for question 11, couldn't accept the second. ;)
It's getting more amusing because some of the incorrect answers you gave, were *very* close to the correct answers for other questions. ;)

Haven't got time to do it myself, so I'll just do a few of the tricky ones:
Isn't the creatorof the T-Virus William Birken (or something like that)?
Plus, I think Mario 64 was the first proper 3D game in terms of rotation of camera, full 3D structures etc. Wasnt Sonic 3D actually 2 1/2D or something?
