The Game Screenshot Challenge

[Prime Time]

I dunno man, can't work anymore out from that clue. Just going to go through them. Halo 2?!

[SirSam]

A Halo game that stretched out to grab something. I'll leave it at that for 24 hours to give Gooner a chance to level it.

[Prime Time]

LOL, I read the wrong clue. No wonder I was confused. I think the fact I've blundered into that is just sheer dumb luck.

I have it now but I've only worked it out by cheating so I'll stay quiet.

[Gooner]

I'll force the draw, but Degen is next to come up with some pictures!

Halo: Reach

[SirSam]

Done. Degen got his first so he is the winner but Gooner forced a late draw.

Over to you Degenerate.

[Degenerate]

I'll do my best to get to this after the weekend.

[Prime Time]

Genny, you still going to have a crack at this? Or is better passing it on to someone else (I think in that case Gooner should get the first crack)?

[Gooner]

I'll try and get one up by tomorrow.

EDIT: No theme

1.
2. Infinity Blade - SirSam
3.
4.
5. Need for Speed Underground - SirSam
6.
7.
8. Bioshock Infinite - SirSam
9. True Crime: New York City - SirSam

[SirSam]

1 - Stardew Valley
3 - The Adventures of Monkey Island
6 - Destiny
8 - Bioshock Infinite
9 - GTA 3

Not entirely sure of many of those but have a go.

[Gooner]

Only one correct is 8. Rest are really good shouts, (one of which you are very very close).

[SirSam]

Is 6 Destiny 2?

I didn't expect them all to be right and now can't believe I went with what I did for 9 because it uses the real place names which obviously GTA don't do, now I just have to remember games set in New York.

[Gooner]

Destiny 2 is incorrect.

The one you were really close to was 3...

[Gooner]

Do we need clues?

[SirSam]

Maybe now?

[Gooner]

Okie dokie:

1. One of the finest games ever made, and probably the first game (or one of) to introduce multiple endings.
2. An Ipad game, it produced 2 well received sequels. Consisted of timing your slashes and parries.
3. No clue, as the previous guess is as close as can be.
4. This game consisted of 8 gyms...
5. Revitalized a flagging franchise in the mid 2000s and introduced "tuning".
6. An original game released 2 or 3 years ago. Your character is alone on a desert world with only a robotic dog as a companion.
7. Point and Click horror game, starring Rami Malek and Hayden Panettier.
9. A GTA clone, however you play a cop in this game. Based in New York, the first game was set in LA.

[SirSam]

2. Infinity Blade
4. Pokemon Red
5. Need for Speed Underground
9. True Crime New York City

[Gooner]

2. Infinity Blade
5. Need for Speed Underground
9. True Crime New York City

Are correct. Pokemon red is not.

[Prime Time]

Is 3) something like The Curse of Monkey Island instead?

[Gooner]

Nope, SirSam had the first game in the series. So to speak...

[Prime Time]

The secret of...

[Gooner]

Nope.

First game of the series is called The Secret of Monkey island. 3 is the sequel.

[Prime Time]

Is 3) something like The Curse of Monkey Island instead?

I thought that was the sequel, so curious I looked it up and there's loads of sequels.

Now I know the likely answer, but obviously can't give it. Buggeration.

[Gooner]

Some more clues:

1 - The tittle contains the name of a character from Winnie the Poo
3 - Basically, as mentioned earlier. The sequel to "The Secret of Monkey Island"
4 - Pokemon game, but NOT in the main series.
6 - A mashup of 'Metroid' and 'Mega Man', released on the Xbox One a couple of years ago. The character's aim is to collect glowing orbs.
7 - You play numerous different teens in a "scary movie" setting, trying to escape from a "Wendigo".

[Gooner]

I'll leave 24 hours, otherwise we shall call this a day.

[Gooner]

I'm calling this. SirSam is up.

1 - Chrono Trigger
3 - Monkey Island 2: Le Chucks Revenge
4 - Pokemon Trading Card Game
6 - ReCore
7 - Until Dawn

[Prime Time]

Is Chrono or Trigger the Winnie The Pooh character?!?

Look forward to seeing what you have got, Sam..
..

[Gooner]

Fuck... Tigger, not Trigger

[SirSam]

Oh I won! I'll get to it tomorrow night after work. Hopefully it goes better than my album one.

[Prime Time]

Sam, you still up for doing one of these?

[Prime Time]

OK, no bite on this so I'll reset us.

1.
2. Super Mario Sunshine, Gooner
3. WWF War Zone, LWO
4. Final Fantasy VIII, The Dude
5. Golden Axe, LWO
6.
7. Batman, LWO
8.
9. Sid Meier's Pirates, Gooner

[Gooner]

Woo! OK...

2. Super Mario Sunshine
4. Final Fantasy.... 9?
7. Batman Returns
9. Possibly Sid Meier's Pirates! ?

[Prime Time]

2/4, good start

[LWO4Life]

3. WWF War Zone
5. Golden Axe
7. Batman the Video Game

[Prime Time]

All correct, so that leaves four.

[The Dude]

I think 4 is FF8

[Prime Time]

You are correct, sir.

That leaves three on the board - anyone who has played so far can still win, and a new player could still force a tie with LWO.

[Gooner]

Goddammit... knew it was a FF game. Looking back its obvious, FF9 had a more medieval look to it.

I'll take a stab at 1. being Formula 1 Grand Prix? I have no idea really, but from memory the names are all fairly similar.

8. Championship Manager?

[Prime Time]

No to either but you're on the right lines with both.

[Prime Time]

Clues then:

1) you'll want to think of a specific race to get this Mega Drive/Genesis classic.
6) looking at the character in the screenshot could help here. She's not just some random NPC but a famous character in a particular franchise.
8) what do Glenn Hoddle at Swindon, Gianluca Vialli at Chelsea, and Kenny Dalglish in his first reign at Liverpool, have in common?

[Gooner]

1. OK, so I know it's Monaco. Unfortunately I don't know the actual title. Perhaps F! Monaco Grand Prix?
8. Again, can't think of the title, but from the clues... were they all first time managers? Debut Manager
