Guess the Game Brain Teasers: Crossword Puzzle Edition
SilverDragon1979 | 2:28 PM on 06.22.2009 50 comments


It’s time for another weekly edition of SilverDragon’s Video Game Brain Teasers. If you can’t tell I’ve kind of become addicted to doing these on a weekly basis the past month. I’ve decided to mix it up again this week with a video game themed crossword puzzle. This crossword puzzle consists of 13 rows across and 11 columns down, all of which should be filled in with words or phrases related to video games. I have given clues to all 24 answers below. At the end of the day I will post an answer key if anyone is interested.

I recommend printing out the puzzle and clues and trying it out yourself, instead of just randonly guessing from the clues. Good luck everyone!

[Note:] Feel free to post answers below, but limit yourself to only answering 1 or 2 of the blanks. Please leave other people a chance to guess.





Across
1) The only way to play this game is in your underwear.
2) He gets no respect.
3) When he’s not eating flies he enjoys flying starships.
4) He’s arguably the most popular video game plush toy.
5) This guy’s fantasy will never be final.
6) He didn’t have the guts to pull the trigger in the end.
7) He enjoys emailing his mom before he jacks cars.
8) She’ll roll with you before killing you and collecting her bounty.
9) Would you kindly fill in the blanks.
10) Chad wishes this game character would get a 3D sequel.
11) If she has to save your life one more time ….
12) A lot of people are boycotting this guy’s new sequel.
13) She could beat Ryu’s ass any day.

Down
1) This heavenly beauty really enjoys swinging her sword.
2) This little squirrel loves beers and boobs.
3) Julius Little and Troy Bradshaw lead the 3rd Street ____________.
4) He loves mushrooms on his pizza.
5) In space no one can hear you scream on this starship.
6) Will he ever have a good 3D game made about him?
7) Great Aether is his final Smash.
8) Why is this game named after her?
9) The original Ghostbuster.
10) Who needs an iPhone when you could wear this instead.
11) Single White female looking for love. Enjoys photography, pigs, and the color green.

@Electro Lemon: 13 across is NOT Chun-Li. Sorry man.
Electro Lemon's Destructoid Blog
10 across: Ecco
Elsa's Destructoid Blog
... restricting us to only 2 is like saying "only eat half that chocolate bar"! :(

... can I at least hint that 9 across starts with a "B"?
:)
Bulkmailer's Destructoid Blog

Scary Womanizing Pig Mask's Destructoid Blog

SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
BulleyMagnet got 8 Across right. Congratz man!

SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
@Justice. 12 Across is not "RADD" Spencer. Sorry man!
Scary Womanizing Pig Mask's Destructoid Blog

Yes #13 across is Sakura. :-)
Justice's Destructoid Blog
12 Across: "Tony" Hawk?
Bulkmailer's Destructoid Blog
12 across : Gabe
Justice's Destructoid Blog
Crapsicles, Bulkmailers answer makes a lot more sense.
fetusmilk's Destructoid Blog
1 across = ghost n goblins/ ghouls n ghosts
fetusmilk's Destructoid Blog
7A) niko
SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
Sorry Justice, but BulkMailer got 12 Across first. It is Gabe, as in Gabe Newell from Valve.

12A) Gabe
SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
@Fetusmilk: I didn't raelly plan on it being this way, but I guess #1 Across could be either Ghouls n Ghosts or Ghosts and Goblins. Personally, I planned on it being Ghosts n Goblins. You also got 7A Across right.

1A) Ghosts n Goblins
7A) Niko
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog

Down:
#3
#4
#10
#11
SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
Anyone NEW want to guess the ones that are left, rather then those who have already guessed?
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
Is 6 across SolidSnake?
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
Is #3 down: Saints?
BulletMagnet's Destructoid Blog
I think I know 4 Down, but I'll let someone else try it...also, I think someone already got 11 Down.
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
I'm either too stupid or too Dutch for this.
SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
Magnalon got 2 more. Congratz man!

6A) Solid Snake
3D) Saints

There are still a couple more to get everyone. Here are the ones no one has guessed yet.

Across:
#2

Down:
#4
#10
#11
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Bulkmailer already solved Down #11. That was one even I knew.

#2 across: Luigi?
SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
Damn, you are right Takeshi, Bulkmailer did solve #11 down, and you just solved #2 across.

11D) Jade
2A) Luigi

All that is left is:

#4 Down
#10 Down
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Dude, I give up. Those last two are to damn hard. All I can think of is Phobos for #10 Down, only because it fits but that doesn't make any sense to me. So yeah, I'd better get some sleep and look again tomorrow if someone else got it.
Jack Maverick's Destructoid Blog
4D) Mario?
10D) Pip-Boy.

Man, you gave me a run for my money on that last one, I had to think for a good fifteen minutes before it finally clicked in me. :D
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
@Jack
I was going to say Mario, but I wasn't positive. As for PipBoy - wow! That was a clever clue, and great guess!
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Oh damn. Of course. A bloody Pipboy.

When it comes to video games I am obsessive-compulsive about beating them. If I start a game I must finish it. No matter how bad, or how hard it is I will not rest until the ending credits have rolled across the screen. Like Bruce Hornsby says ... that's just the way it is!
