Guess the Game Brain Teaser - Not for the weak at heart this time.

These are game brain teasers. They are brain teasers, and the answers are names of games. Get them right and you get to look smart. Get the hard ones right and you get to look smarter. Speaking of hard brain teasers, you guys still need to solve these three brain teasers that were left unsolved yesterday. I would suggest that you think hard for these - some of them are a little more obscure than the games I've previously been doing. The first three are the unsolved ones from yesterday, the last three are all new.

6. Happy Feet

AILDFan

4. Get on the Mic

6. Happy Feet

AILDFan

Shit. Sorry bout that.

kepler

I only got Happy Feet...

GoS-CPT-Stewart

Also, I can't see the first image. It doesn't appear at all...

GoS-CPT-Stewart

I wanna say #2 is Boiling Point... but I'm not quite sure.

BluFire

Sorry about the first image - I've fixed it.
4 and 6 have been solved. Also, 2 is not Boiling Point. To save you the trouble :)

kepler

Number 5 really is puzzling, but its the one that i'm most determined to work out. I have no idea how that relates to a game lol.

razerangel

Number 2 is Lost Planet

BluFire

From my standpoint, I would say that 1 and 2 are the hardest ones of the four that remain unsolved. 3 is easier if you look at it the right way.

BluFire

@razerangel: Number 2 is not Lost Planet.

razerangel

@BluFire: dammit read that wrong lol!

kepler

For number 3, all i can think is Disc World because it looks flat...

razerangel

I really want to say Indigo Prophecy for number 2 but im sure thats wrong

BluFire

Unfortunately, Disc World is incorrect :(

razerangel

also 1 could be Nights into Dreams but that too is a stab in the dark!

kepler

I thought discworld might be wrong...that had to be one of the most frustrating games I ever played - loved the franchise though. For number one, all I know is that "defenestrate" means to throw something or jump out of a window. I dont know what games you do that in either lol. This isn't going well for me.

BluFire

@razerangel
Actually...

I already made one for that game :P
Here's a hint that helps a little: try not to look at the meaning of the words. They trick you! Try looking at some of the last few posts on my blog with brain teasers to see what I mean. Like the one yesterday for FlatOut.

shipero

3. Two Worlds?

These are tough. This is just revenge for me solving that one from a few days ago so quickly isn't it?

kepler

That nights on is epic. I looked at the Flat Out one from yesterday, I wouldnt have got that one either! All i know that is if you move away from the screen and squint, all the words make the shape of Mario!

kepler

"All I know is that on #1, if you move away from the screen"...etc. Sorry, tiredness kills.

razerangel

#5 dead rising?

BluFire

Yay, Shipero has come to the rescue! Number 3 was, in fact, Two Worlds. Number 2, however, is not Mercury Rising.

BluFire

@razerangel: Number 5 is not Dead Rising.

shipero

5. Dead Rising?

shipero

Oops, need to refresh the page before guessing.

shipero

I'm guessing #2 has something to do with the word "fever" but I'm drawing blanks.

BluFire

It actually doesn't have anything to do with a fever - try to figure out what the thermometer is measuring.

shipero

It seems to be measureing pain or the intensity there of, still got nothing though.

AILDFan

2. Painkiller?

Batthink

2. Pain?
5. Silent Bomber! (btw, if I am right, that is a very dodgy way of representing the word 'Bomber')

BluFire

2 is not Painkiller or Pain, and 5 is not Silent Bomber. You guys are almost there for number 2, though.

F Whipple

#2 max payne??

BluFire

F Whipple is triumphant! I believe this leaves only numbers 1 and 5 left to solve.

F Whipple

#5 Death by degrees??

BluFire

F Whipple triumphs again! Number 5 was Death by Degrees.

Only one left to solve now.

Wedge

Is the first one... Wario Ware? I keep thinking something along those lines...

F Whipple

#1 Bust a Groove!!

BluFire

Not WarioWare. I would suggest that you ignore most of the words in that one. Remember that you don't always have to see the words for their meanings.

BluFire

Also, it is not Bust a Groove.

F Whipple

Argh!!! I thought I had it

F Whipple

Bust-A-Move then??

shipero

Does that fact the most of the words are alternating synonyms have anything to do with the answer?

BluFire

There is not meant to be a very complex relation between all of these words. In fact, most of them could be switched out for any other word, except for one special word.

shipero

...Top Spin... damn I'm over thinking things

BluFire

Yay for Shipero! The answer was Top Spin. Sorry about the confusion there - I should have thrown in some different words like "Jizz" or "Mango" to make it easier.
Congrats to all, the brain teasers are finally solved!

F Whipple

Dang...that was driving me nuts. Nice job shipero

Wedge

Is it Microsoft Word? =O

Wedge

Lawl, guess not.

shipero

Spin, twirl, and rotate are synonyms. As are jump and hop. Dance, soar and dive are kind of related to the other groups. Therefore, I was spending all my time trying to figure out what those groups had to do with throwing things out a window. This is way I failed to many 10-20 point puzzles in Professor Layton.
