stg83: [...] and how are you supposed to guess the game based on clue#1: Slash, my second clue would have been Axe (slang for guitar). Also Google Slash and the first thing you get there informs you that the game can only be Brutal Legend because no other games are a celebration of Rock n' Roll and Heavy Metal on GOG. :)

chevkoch: Actually, after the reveal that K_1269 did above, I immediately thought Guns N' Roses looking at your clue #1. So, totally makes sense to me how you came up with that clue :)

K_1269: Giveaway closed!

Thank you all very much for participating!

In order to reward everyones effort, I did two draws, the first ( for the $9.99 GOGgame) among those that had the highest scores at the end and the second ( for the $5.99 game) among everyone that participated.

Btw: after adding values for right guesses and good open clues the highest scores were:
BranjoHello - 11
Austrobogulator - 9
chevkoch - 9
tascodlx - 8
aJillSandwich - 4

I drew the winners via random.org and they are:

for the $9.99 GOGgame: BranjoHello
for the $5.99 GOGgame: cmdr_flashheart

Congratulations to the winners and thanks again to you all for participating! Hope you all had some fun with this :)

PS: Made a mistake in the first draw and had nicohvc as the winner, even through he wasn't supposed to be in that list. Made a redraw with the right people and edited this post accordingly. But as it was my mistake... congratulations nicohvc due to my incompetence you will also get a prize ;)

chevkoch: This was so much fun, I was glued to this giveaway for large periods of time trying to figure clues out — too bad it's already over. Let's have one of these again! Thanks much once more for this, K_1269, have another +1.

Congrats to the winners: BranjoHello, cmdr_flashheart and nicohvc.

chevkoch: Ittle Dew would've been my next guess for your puzzle, just didn't have time to log on 'till now. Well played indeed, Austrobogulator :)

I was pretty much lost with the rest of the clues/games.

For my own clues "Bear" and "Pins", if you are interested: Mike (the protagonist of Shadow Man) is able to travel between Deadside and Liveside with the help of the teddy bear of his dead brother. That toy has pins stuck into it, a Voodoo puppet essentially, as the developers likely thought fitting for a game starring a "Voodoo Warrior".

Thanks everyone for making the guessing fun :)

tascodlx: In case anybody is wondering about my clues:
- 'carrots' is self-explanatory
- 'toast' as in drinking toast
- third clue probably would have been 'quizz' (spotting you an extra 'z')

It would have helped immensely if had played the game. Even if you hadn't, you might have figured it out by googling 'walkthrough carrots toast' (or even 'spoiler carrots toast'). Not too obvious but worth mentioning.

Moonbeam: Thanks for the explaination, did a lot of carrot googling:)
