Kyle and Salami Play Co-Op 2 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Disaster Report

"Disaster Report" was released in Japan in 2002, and Europe and North America in 2003. The game is about Keith Helm, played by Casey Robertson, trying to rescue people after an artificial island collapses. He also must dodge falling buildings from the aftershock of the earthquake. You must find a way to be rescued.

The game takes place in 2001. You meet several people along the way, but not all of the rescued will survive.

Answer: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

"San Andreas", first released on the PS2 in 2004, was under the spotlight in later years due to its infamous Hot Coffee mod, which allowed players to complete a minigame revolving around intercourse. To combat the ESRB suspension and the backlash from concerned parents, Rockstar Games began releasing "San Andreas" with the minigame removed entirely in order to maintain a Mature (17+) rating. Regardless, the game proved a popular title (possibly because of the controversy) and it was dubbed one of the greater games released on the Playstation 2 that year. Since then, "Grand Theft Auto 4" was released on PS3 and Xbox, becoming one of the highest-scoring video games (in terms of critics and reviews) to date and selling six million copies within the first week of sales.

This iteration continues to feature 'mature-rated themes', allowing players to drink and drive, steal automobiles, and beat non-playable characters to a pulp. All part of the American dream, eh?

Answer: Crash Tag Team Racing

"Crash Tag Team Racing" has been made for the PS2, the Gamecube, the XBox, and the PSP. The game was released in North America in October of 2005, in Europe November 2005, and Japan the following month. It is the 12th installment of "Crash Bandicoot" games, and the first to have a rating higher than E, in North America. It is rated E 10+ for cartoon violence and crude humor.

Answer: Valve

"Counter-Strike" first hit Beta in 1999, and since that date, the game has been a popular online arena-type FPS. The thing about it, though, is the fact that so many people do play it, yet a few of the 'leet' players tend to wipe 'noobs' out almost instantly.

The game has major connections with "Half-Life", another of Vavle Corporation's major games in the series (along with "Team Fortress" and "Portal"), and although it is quite popular, it's oversaturated with these frequent players. Besides that, the game is prone to hackings, and in other words, many players tend to cheat by running through walls, turning off gun recoil, and removing effects of certain weapons to gain a strong advantage in the game. "Counter-Strike: Source" was released in 2004 to relatively good reviews.

This game made use of the "Half-Life 2" engine, much like the predecessor made use of the first game's engine.

Answer: Spyro: A Hero's Tail

The original "Spyro" trilogy consists of "Spyro the Dragon," "Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage," and "Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon." Two individual games came out, the first being "Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly," where dragonflies have gone missing and you must find them, and "Spyro: A Hero's Tail." This game was released in 2004.

The next trilogy starts back at the beginning of Spyro's life, the trilogy being labeled "The Legend of Spyro."

Answer: Sims

Like most other MMORPGs, "World of Warcraft" has the player select a profession and species to determine a player character, and it has said player travel around a literal world completing quests, levelling up, and defeating bad guys. The premise continues through tens of levels until a max level cap is reached and all regions of the world are explored.

A cap also occurs with weapons, which are unique in their own ways as well, however there is always a 'best weapon' to obtain. Shortly after accomplishing its first few million players, Blizzard released the game's first expansion pack, "The Burning Crusade", and has since become the largest MMORPG.

The game is also pay-to-play, which means that all players must subscribe to membership to pay, and renew after a certain time. "The Sims" was developed by Maxis, and they have sold millions of units of games for consoles, handhelds, and PC, worldwide.

Answer: Call of Duty

"Call of Duty" is a video game series set in WWII, except for "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare." It is a first person shooting game. The games are published both by Activision and Aspyr Media. The game is also developed by several companies: Infinity Ward, Grey Matter Interactive, Spark Unlimited, Treyarch, Pi Studios, and Amaze Entertainment.

The first "Call of Duty" was released on the 29th of October, 2003.

Answer: Duck Hunt

"Duck Hunt" was first released on consoles in North America in 1985 on the NES unit, and since then, it is one of the console's top-selling games, having been bundled with the original "Super Mario Bros." installation. The release of this game also marked the first game to make use of the NES Light Gun, which could be used to shoot the ducks on the screen as the game was played. Aim was a requirement, and some of us don't have any. "SSX" is a snowboarding game first released in 2000, though since its release, numerous sequels have been added to the roster. Predating this, for the same sport, was "1080 Snowboarding" for the Nintendo 64. "Sega Bass Fishing" originated on the Sega Dreamcast, but has since been produced for the Wii (allowing players to authentically cast and reel in the Wii remote). "NHL '94" was one of the first annual hockey games to be released by EA Sports, one of the biggest names in sporting games in the video gaming world.

It was released on the SNES.

Answer: Splinter Cell

"Splinter Cell" was released in Japan, Europe, and the United States in November of 2002. The game follows Sam Fisher, the main playable character of the game. Quite a bit of the game involves being secretive. You use shadows and darkness to hide and sneak around buildings and such, trying not to get caught. However, being rated T, it is a very violent game.

Answer: Folklore

While "No More Heroes" was one of many Wii exclusives, and "Blue Dragon" and "Lost Odyssey" were completely different Xbox 360 RPG exclusives (both made by Square Enix), "Folklore" for the Playstation 3 is one of few RPG exclusives for Sony's third home console, which fell to the bottom place of the seventh generation console race. Released in October 2007 (in North America), the game was one of the few to make integral use of the Sixaxis controller's motion sensitivity in battle, and while the graphics, storyline, and soundtrack were astounding, players were put off a bit by gameplay, and as such, the game received varying reviews. Regardless, the game was one of the few and far-between titles of the system in its earlier years that was both exclusive and original, and though it was one of the pushed titles for the 2007 holiday season, reception by shoppers was somewhat lukewarm compared to the sales of "Lair", "Clive Barker's Jericho", "Timeshift", and "Kane and Lynch: Dead Men", all of which garnered worse reviews.

Despite this, however, Sony made up for it with the sales of 'Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction", the wide release of "Guitar Hero 3" and "Rock Band", "The Orange Box", "Call of Duty 4", "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune", and "Assassin's Creed", only two of which ("Ratchet and Clank" and "Uncharted") were exclusive titles.
