More quizzes!
Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia? We’ve got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes.
Despite a certain amount of screeching to the contrary in online spaces, one thing videogames have not lacked for over the years is ruggedly samey white male protagonists. Their jaws? Chiseled. Their hair? Brown, usually short cropped. Their names? Probably John, or Jack, or Jake.
Heroes of this time-worn template star in some of the best and most memorable games ever made, but their tendency to blur together makes them oddly forgettable.
Could you tell Jack Cooper apart from Jason Brody if you saw them on the street? I’m not sure I could. And I say that as a very forgettable brown-haired white guy myself.
Today we’re going to put that phenomenon to the test, with a quiz full of close ups of the most generic leads in gaming. I’m not going to be so mean as to ask you to name them—I’m not sure there’s a person on Earth who remembers Miles Kilo on sight—but you are going to have to identify which game they first starred in. And I think you might find that trickier than you expect.
How did you score? And who’s your favourite bland-faced action man? Let us know in the comments below!
