Birthday fun and gifts (for you!)
GOG.com 5th birthday celebration continues, and we came up with some fun activities essential to every nerd party in the universe. Namely, we want to play some trivia with you! There will be prizes, of course, because there have to be gifts in a birthday celebration. Since it is our party, you get to keep the gifts! We wouldn't have it any other way. But, just to make it more fun, you'll have to put some effort into getting them. For the next couple of days (let's say: until Sunday), we'll post a daily activity for you. A quiz, a puzzle, some trivia--you know: fun stuff. Each day you'll get a chance to prove your gaming knowledge and familiarity with GOG.com for a chance to get some free games. Our activity of choice today: word search!

UPDATE:
We got word from our support, that some users aren't sure where they should send the answers. Let's pretend that finding the e-mail address on the picture below is a little warm-up exercise before the actual word search. If you can't handle that task, there's probably not much point in wasting your time looking for the 40 titles. And one more thing: we didn't notice it ourselves, but there's actually 41 hidden titles in the picture (apart from the highlighted "FEZ"). That's because one of the longer ones contains another one, shorter. Still--we don't expect more than 40, and that gives you a bit of an advantage.

Austrobogulator: I think I might have to join the 39+Fez club ;__;

*pulls hair out*
+1 club member.
Ah screw it I want to play video games. I will submit this... incomplete puzzle.... sigh.
40 found and sent. Finally.
I can't believe that I was searching for the fabled 40th word for ages, while I had simply forgotten to write one of them down on my list. >_>

ElPrimordial: I found "Torta" (cake) hahahaha! So thats the hidden message in this puzzle??? :P
avatar
Stooner: The torta is a lie?
Probably, HL3 confirmed hahahahaha xD
AH! Already sent it in and NOW I find the 40th. Gah! Well, resending just incase. :P
Argh. I wish I had stopped at 24 or so; stopping at 38 is the worst ... But I already wasted too much time on this and I need my beauty sleep. ;)

Probably too late anyway. I just hope the two games I missed are some horrible strategy games or shooters that I never even heard of and never intended to play. Or that one of them was "ICO", and to everyone's surprise and joy, GOG is releasing a yet unknown PC port of it tomorrow. Now that would be some consolation! :D
Landed up resending it twice -- first time because I missed typing one of the games from my list, and the second time because I didn't realise overlaps didn't count!

(And I stuck Fez right at the end of the list just for completeness! I know it was given as an example, but I was just being thorough :-) So, including the two technically incorrect ones, 42 in total!)
The 40th one is pissing me off. I've scanned the whole damned thing and I can't find it >.<
Sent in my 20!! Would have tried for 40, but I have to go to work!!

So, hope I win the draw. :) Keeping my fingers crossed!! Good luck to everyone!
I got 40, but one is part of another, and I"m not sure if that counts. Oh well. I might look and see if I can find any other.
