I think there might be a problem with that question as it can be one of several correct answers (4 in fact).

SO far yes lol - so make sure you remind everyone about it, and get as many people involved as possible!

As for the Snake question - i know that the character was heavily based on a movie that the creator was fond of and the name and characteristics were similair to this movie (granted there a couple of the movies but if it has caused a problem let me know and i can change / remove the question)

Also we have Edgy invovled, good to see you three doing the quiz. Interesting to see where you all excel, i have had a quick look through and you all have your strengths!

There are different characters for the name, the look and even the body and face (not to mention the front cover). I only realised this when OPM had a whole spread dedicated to MGS4 and the history of the series. I think if you stick with name it's probably the one you're expecting to see.

Yea i was meaning his name came form which character from the film lol, should have been more clear, but like i said i will take answers from people until Friday - the deadline.

Well if there are any other questions then please let me know and i will try make them more clear.

Altough I know I ain't got them all right (and some I couldn't answer :P) I know games trivia is one of my strengths - Nintendo being my key strength.

It's quite sad really ^_^

You did provide some very good answers in the Nintendo section lol.

Still only seen 3 people submit answers, no more staff members wanting to get their hands on a GAD?? Hippyman, pete, Nin - where are the usuals at?

Or any newcomers that would like to get their winning off to a good start!

I was surprised by how much I knew (and the answers I didn't know). I've been helping write news for various people (newsletters and games sites) so the figures were easier than I thought (well, assuming I got them right, a couple were a complete guess still!)

I'll probably find I get the ones wrong that I think are right now!

From my initial look - it is going to be close. There are a couple images which i thought were pretty hard but i think you all got - and then a few whichi thought you would all get and then you didnt (well i think 1 or 2 of you did lol)

I really enjoy making the quiz and seeing what answers i get back, especially knowing it will have a reward at the end, feels almost as good as winning one myself lol
