Maybe we should limit it to the games featured on the Top 100 and the "you might also"-likes? At least for now because I also fear the oncoming obscurity...
But maybe that'd spoil the fun. I dunno... |

This looks fun.
I wouldn't limit us to top 100 and 'you might also likes', though. Just use some common sense and don't go for games that only a handful of people have ever played...

I'm against the limitation, because just like Top 100, "quizzes" of this sort are among other things, neat way to remind us or even find about some games we haven't heard of.
After all, even if you do find Amazon review of some obscure title, you can always give hints. |

Oh goodie, I'll post a new one in a bit.
EDIT: Okay I found a game with two really funny ones. Here's one of them... Quote:

That might be Myst, though I don't think there's anything that is even "supposed to be like a character" in Myst...

Oh, shoot, there was a one-off that was essentially made in a garage, by a married couple, I think, and now I can't remember the name of it!

Yep, it's Myst, and I think the "characters" are the brothers in the books.
For a laugh, here's what some other reviewers said about it: Quote:

The idea of a Myst/Doom mash-up is hilarious. Someone should develop that.
I've got a good one in store, but this one made me laugh so hard I just have to post it at once: Okay, so to try and distract myself from the wait for Professor Layton's second game, I bought this. I have not seen any puzzles yet in this game. I am stopping in the middle of the 2nd case and returning this game for credit. The storyline is okay. [...] The dialogue is long and drawn out. Despite that, I finished the first case (of 5) in about an hour. Not a good value, in my opinion. [...] I would have stuck with it because I play at bedtime and so it would have been a good way to fall asleep. BUT the final straw was that in each of the cases there were women wearing their shirts 4 sizes to small and in the second case, the woman would even shake her boobs during certain parts of the dialogue.

I'm guessing Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney.

You're right! Another PW review that I love: This was purchased for me as a gift because I'm about 6 months away from being a lawyer. I know that this is a Japanese game, and therefore the portrayal of the legal system won't necessarily translate perfectly for people used to the US legal system. But I can tell you that if you're a US law student/lawyer, the only thing you'll do while playing this game is pick out all the things that are wrong/inaccurate and yearn to make this like a real game of legal strategy that would be super useful. As a result, I hated this game within the first 15 minutes.Poor guy. Anyway, your turn!

I thought this one was funny, but it's too easy so I blanked out some bits.

The following review is lengthy but (I believe) very interesting (with some viewes on a game that never occured to me):
(It's also a bit hazy, so if no-one gets it soon I'll post some more telltale stuff.) Quote:
