Dammit! I thought Kohl's was money. Is Circuit City still a valid answer? I know the number of stores are dropping like flies

Dollar General? Never heard of it. Does Circuit City even count anymore ?

Question Two: !!!
Name a television show (that aired/airs in the US) that has had one or more games made from it. !!!

This one was a good one.

Everybody* had unique answers. Nobody had wrong answers.

maxfisher

I thought Kohl's was money too, what with it's $80 price tags for $60 games. I should've gone with my original answer of CVS, but I wasn't sure if they still have budget games in their toy section.

Question Three: Name a game from this generation that had a regular and one or more special or collector's edition(s) at launch.

Unique Answers: nickdawgy (Ass Ass In's Creed), cruzness (Battlefield: BC), Tarantino (BIA: HH), DVDChris (Dead Space), Mordred (Halo 3), mattysemo247 (Need for Speed Carbon), L&O (RE5), Imprint (Saint's Row 2), Jeremy517 (Splinter Cell), fumanstan (Street Fighter IV), pinata242 (Tales of Vesperia)

Nerds! Please double-check these unique answers and make sure they are not wrong.

Wrong Answer: Rock Band (FatTony). I know there were several editions but nothing was "collectible" about the game. This was a question about special editions, not just different SKUs.

JasonF

We could quibble over whether these video games were based on the TV shows or the toys/comics ... but let's not.

Do you mind indicating when a round is a lightning round? The results on round 2 were confusing that they got double score at first.

I came this close to picking Fallout 3 or Bioshock and then thought both were way too obvious. Shows what I know.

Liver&Onions

Oh - If tarantino wins, he doesn't get the $5 gift card

Looking back at the questions, I can't wait for question 7 (Tetris piece).

The Bus

Question Four: Square (now SquareEnix) has been involved with a lot of games. Name one of their US-released games that does not have the words "Dragon" and/or "Final" in the title.

Lots of unique answers in this one: 3D World Runner, Actraiser, Breath of Fire II, Bushido Blade, Chrono Trigger: DS, Ehrgeiz, Front Mission 4, Infinite Undiscovery, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Parasite Eve, Parasite Eve 2, Rad Racer, Secret of Mana, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Threads of Fate, Tobal #1, Xenogears

Only two wrong answer:

Song Summoner: pinata242
Breath of Fire II: The Bus

The rules clearly stated a console or hand-held only. Handhelds do not include the iPod.

Tarantino

I wouldn't be able to use it anyway.

pinata242

No. And I'm desperately waiting someone to defend my current answer

Though 3 points isn't a big deal.

fumanstan

D'oh! Stupid Bouncer

Liver&Onions

Bummer. You'll get a pat on the head then.
