	GoW was God of War first. Not Gears of War.

	Father_Time:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 07:30 GMT	7 points
	no one abbreviates the dual screen nds, also stick to series so no pokemon stadium.

	iceman1731:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 18:17 GMT	1 point
	Sim City should be acceptable too

	batmann:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 21:00 GMT	10 points
	no one calls pokemon P R&B, it's RBY/GSC/etc

	eurythmech:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 21:10 GMT	2 points
	Some of the acronyms seemed weird, like I hear much more talk about SMB and super mario bros, than MB and mario bros. Also, many platform choices were suspect. It's almost like you go out of your way not to include Xbox.

	Eol:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 21:32 GMT	2 points
	Ditto on batmann's comment.

	28/36 Where's KOTOR?

	Otacon:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 03:10 GMT	2 points
	I missed Mario Brothers. Hmm.

	Cheeseknight:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 07:07 GMT	3 points
	NDS, contrary to popular opinion, actually stands for Nintendo Designer System, though I think Nintendo has taken up the other abbreviation as the official one. Either answer should be acceptable. KOTOR should definitely be on here, it's one of the most common acronyms I see (Especially compared to MB or P R&B). CC (Castle Crashers) is also a popular acronym, and should be here as well.

	ESkog:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 13:50 GMT	3 points
	Should take "Mario Brothers".

	LinkinMarc:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 18:48 GMT	3 points
	Perhaps add RCT for roller coaster tycoon?

	max123:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 18:55 GMT	2 points
	maybe add PES (pro evolution soccer) and NFS (need for speed). otherwise good quiz

	marisbest:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 23:18 GMT	0 points
	if this is a GAME acronym quiz then consoles shouldnt be included

	Dobbin:	Oct 21st, 2009 at 15:32 GMT	0 points
	Why GBA but not PS3 or GC or any other console for that matter?

	500daysofandrew:	Oct 21st, 2009 at 18:01 GMT	7 points
	SC also is Soul Calibur

	andrewd:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 20:15 GMT	0 points
	Your consoles are wrong -- FF was originally on Nintendo, then on Playstation, now 13 will be PS3/XBOX 360... with lots of spinoffs on GB, GBA, NDS...

Comment below threshold: show it

	BingKafei:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 05:31 GMT	2 points
	You might as well remove your entire blue column of "hints" for consoles/companies, there are far too many errors.

	hvdm:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 16:31 GMT	1 point
	good idea but poorly made

	Fattywhale:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 22:49 GMT	2 points
	Are half of these even commonly used.

	Robd75:	Oct 25th, 2009 at 02:13 GMT	1 point
	Looks like you've touched it up a good deal - good quiz. No big deal, but aesthetically, you shouldn't have #1 and #2 in parenthesis for SC but not MK. I agree about adding SC, that's what SC made me think of. Nice job :)

	MJongo:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 21:07 GMT	1 point
	It was okay, but waaaaaaaay too skewed towards recent games.

	dezereks11:	Oct 29th, 2009 at 22:04 GMT	-1 points
	starcraft is really one word and should not be an answer. And why do you have 3 games in the pokemon clue?

	yoking100:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 15:50 GMT	4 points
	SC is also Soul Calibur.. nice quiz overall.

	Icymantaman:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 13:46 GMT	1 point
	The pokemon clue is too ambiguous. It should be removed. Other than that, good quiz.

	UIWWildthing:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 16:55 GMT	3 points
	SC = Splinter Cell perhaps too?

	Inyro:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 04:16 GMT	1 point
	If you have FF you should definitely have FE (Fire Emblem). Also, for the Pokemon one, I think either "red blue yellow" or simply "Pokemon" should be acceptable.

	Arkardian:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 18:00 GMT	1 point
	Typically, people just classify the pokemon series by talking about all of the generation at once, hence RBY. I really just wanted to add the ones that everybody could know, but tell me if i should remove or add a few that I may have missed.

	JesusMChrist:	Dec 24th, 2009 at 20:51 GMT	-1 points
	please make super smash brothers acceptable, i didnt type bros so i missed it.

	cappy:	Dec 25th, 2009 at 07:18 GMT	-2 points
	Maybe clarify a bit more that these are game names instead of just things to do with video games. "Area of Effect" can easily be AOE, as that's what it's used for more than Age of Empires. Also: FE can also be Fear Effect.

	Fawkes:	Dec 25th, 2009 at 23:35 GMT	1 point
	No Legend of Zelda?

	Arkardian:	Dec 26th, 2009 at 21:21 GMT	1 point
	I added in Loz, but I thought I had it already O_o. I also fixed Super Smash Bros/Brothers just for fairness. And people should know that these are acronyms for Video Games, not any other thing, even if it's more commonly known.

	fm_:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 22:55 GMT	2 points
	Who tried Sim Copter and not Sim City? Yeah.

	Japichan:	Dec 30th, 2009 at 21:18 GMT	-2 points
	actually, it's THE Legend of Zelda

	Kyusil:	Jan 1st, 2010 at 00:19 GMT	2 points
	Probably should accept Sly Cooper for SC, it's a pretty well-established series. Also maybe Cave Story for CS, although that might be a bit obscure.

	Gangsterls:	Jan 5th, 2010 at 20:24 GMT	1 point
	I typed in "Red Blue Yellow" and didn't get RBY.

	Clogall:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 23:47 GMT	1 point
	You should probably throw in RB for Rock Band if you have Guitar Hero.

	TopCat8:	Jan 23rd, 2010 at 11:20 GMT	1 point
	I think that Splinter Cell should be accepted for SC. Good quiz though.

	Arkardian:	Feb 8th, 2010 at 02:53 GMT	1 point
	Ok, I have just recently revamped the quiz, taking in most of all your suggestions. Tell me what you think!

	eurythmech:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 13:42 GMT	0 points
	Roller Coaster Tycoon was so random.
