Famous Eyes in Video Games Trivia Quiz

Answer: Batman

Renown for their story-driven episodic games, other series developed by Telltale Games include "The Walking Dead", "The Wolf Among Us", "Tales from the Borderlands", "Game of Thrones", and "Minecraft". The "Batman" series puts the player in control of both the caped crusader and Bruce Wayne depending on the particular scene. Through the choice of different actions and verbal responses certain events will take place meaning that multiple endings of each episode are possible.

When interrogating enemies Batman's glowing, pupil-void eyes are ever apparent.

Answer: Princess Toadstool

In 1985 Nintendo's "Super Mario Bros." revolutionized the platform genre through its level design. After completing earlier levels in the game the following message would be received: "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" Princess Toadstool was eventually renamed Princess Peach starting with "Super Mario 64" and she has appeared as a playable character in numerous games including the "Mario Kart", "Mario Party" and "Super Smash Bros." series.

Answer: William Birkin

Of all the creepy "Resident Evil" characters I was always taken aback by Birkin's transformed body with a huge claw and massive shoulder eye. Over the course of the "Resident Evil" series Birkin's backstory tells about a highly capable virologist who turns against the Umbrella Corporation after he is not chosen for a promotion.

Answer: Q*bert

Q*bert was the title character in the game "Q*bert" which had players jumping around on a pyramid to try and make every block the same color. Once this is completed the player would advance to the next level. If you were not successful Q*bert would typically let you know his frustration by uttering the nonsense string of characters "@!#?@!". Q*bert was certainly an odd looking character with his big, close together eyes, round shape, and lack of arms.

Answer: Mortal Kombat

Of the seven playable characters in the first "Mortal Kombat" game Sonya Blade was the only female. Part of the backstory of the character describes her as being a soldier in a Special Forces Unit called Earthrealm and her primary combat moves involve speed and kicks. Other notable characters from the "Mortal Kombat" series include Raiden, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion.

Answer: Kratos

Kratos is a Greek demigod known as the "Ghost of Sparta" and he functions as the main playable character in the "God of War" series across different PlayStation generations. He has a tragic backstory in which he kills his family after being tricked by Ares but eventually he kills Ares thus making him the 'God of War'.

The first three main games in the "God of War" series were critically acclaimed with all of them receiving Metacritic aggregate review scores of at least 92.

Answer: Perfect Dark

The failed experiment conducted by Dr. Gordon Freeman creates a rift in the space-time continuum causing aliens from another dimension to invade his research facility. The main plot of "Half-Life" involves trying to escape from the facility with handy weapons like a crowbar.

Answer: Jade

As described by the game's developers, the female character of Jade was designed to have a "girl next door" look and altruistic motives to help displaced children. "Beyond Good & Evil" was released in 2003 and it employed a third-person perspective with elements of puzzle-solving and stealth.
