Here's the Quiz You Absolutely Need To Try

I've gone a bit mad for quizzes. Pub quizzes, the QuizUp app, and generally just asking each other what we think is a brain buster question. It's still a bit of a mystery as to what brought this on, maybe it was the World Cup and the sense of competition hanging in the air, but either way, we want to quiz and be quizzed. We're even still checking here again and again to see if we can get the .quiz domain ending, but sadly it hasn't appeared yet. We're not entirely sure what we'd do with it, but it would still be cool to have. Long story short: we're all about quizzes.

You probably know how much we love games over here, so we're going to give you 12 questions that should be somewhat difficult for the majority of gaming fans out there. The questions will be in multiple choice format and the answers will be given at the bottom, but no cheating! Let the games begin.
