Face

The face is the front of an animal's head that features three of the head's sense organs, the eyes, nose, and mouth, and through which animals express many of their emotions. The face is crucial for human identity, and damage such as scarring or developmental deformities affects the psyche adversely.

Face . Salah (Prayers) . Mirror

What is the ruling of a mirror in which your face can be seen while praying? Is my prayer valid if I have prayed in a room where the side of my face could be seen in the mirror?

It is Makrouh (disliked) to pray in front of a mirror. The reward I of the prayer will be less but it is not Haraam to do that. Your prayer is valid even with being in front of a mirror. Makrouh is not forbidden.

Face . Hair . Feet . Nose . Wudu (Ablution) . Meaning . Salah (Prayers)

I think I have been doing Wudhu wrong all along. I have only been washing my face, arms, hair and feet, but not the nose or mouth. Does this mean my prayers have not been valid?

Neither washing nose is obligatory in Wudhu nor washing mouth. Both of them are just recommended and not obligatory. Washing head or feet in Wudhu is wrong because you should wipe over them and not wash them.

If you are sure that your Wudhu was invalid, you need to perform it properly and re do the prayers which were done with wrong Wudhu.

Face . Najis . Wudu (Ablution)

I had a pimple on my face that started to bleed but, after some time, it dried up. When it was time to do Wudhu, I forgot to purify that area. Is my Wudhu valid? Would my arms have become Najis too as the same hand would touch my face and arms?

Washing your face will makes it Taahir if you poured water on your face more than one time and your Wudhu then is valid.

Of course not!
Perhaps you are referring to a ruling about painting the picture of a living animal or human being, or making their statues which was forbidden before.
The criterion for this forbidding is that the Arabs, because of their closeness to the time of ignorance, although converted to Islam, had a heartfelt interest in idolatry and preserved their ancestors' works. The Prophet, therefore, strongly prohibited the making of faces and icons to eradicate disbelief and defended monotheism.

So we can conclude that playing those games is not Haram unless another thing comes up, say for example the characters are naked or...
