From Quiz Video Games - In Other Words 4

Answer: Dead Space

"Dead Space", released on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, was a survival-horror game with possibly the creepiest atmosphere ever seen in the world of video gaming. Pretty much the entire game takes place on a mining ship, the Ishimura. The main character uses the weapons and items at his disposal in order to make repairs to his crashed ship and fend off evil, parasitic aliens and the environment is beyond scary. Dark hallways, flickering lights, a perfectly-executed soundtrack, and periods of silence in outer space all add to the overall descent into the hellish expanse of space and ultimately, a nightmare. The worst part about it- simply severing an enemy's head won't do the trick. Unless you sever all the appendages of an enemy alien, it'll keep swinging at you. On top of all of this, the protagonist is searching for his girlfriend, also on the ship, who keeps sending him cryptic messages. Due to the popularity of the game, a prequel was announced for the Wii and a tie-in CGI movie, "Dead Space: Downfall" was released as a companion piece. The game was developed by EA Games, who, after gaining success and praise for stepping into the survival horror genre, greenlit "Dante's Inferno".

From Quiz "Super Mario 64" - In Other Words

Answer: Wet-Dry World & Wet Dry World & WetDry World

Wet-Dry World is the eleventh of fifteen worlds in the game accessible through the pictures in Princess Peach's Castle. This world is unique in the fact that depending on how one enters the level, the water levels of the stage can differ. Entering from high up in the picture can result in higher water levels, for instance. The other interesting thing to note is the fact that many different switches in this level will also raise or lower the water level. Although the level may seem small, passing through the gate in the corner of the stage will allow Mario to swim to the 'downtown' area, which houses the Red Coin challenge and another star.

From Quiz "Twilight Princess" In Other Words

Answer: Vessel of Light

Vessels of Light are given to Link by the three spirits guarding certain provinces of Hyrule; Faron, Eldin, and Lanayru. The spirit guarding the southernmost province, Ordona, does not give one to Link as the area does not become covered by twilight. Link must clear out the twilight in the other areas in order to return Hyrule to its proper state. He can accomplish this by filling the Vessel with Twilit Parasites which contain light orbs inside of them. Once all three are filled, you will not need to encounter twilight again, excluding that surrounding Hyrule Castle.
