So yeah. I've been on this site for over a year now and haven't made one of these, so I figured I'd go ahead and do just that.
It should be pretty easy so there won't be hints. The giveaway has no contributor requirements and isn't a bundle game. It additionally hasn't been in an Amazon sale.

What type of puzzle is it?

I really enjoy the puzzles here on SG that have to do with images - my favorites have to be the Steam coverart ones. I've seen people draw them in MS Paint and I've seen one guy even make patterns based on colors in the Steam header (if you're that one guy, please make more).

Therefore, this is a blured Steam coverart quiz. Basically, I take these covers from game pages on Steam and blur them in Photoshop. For most of them, I added other effects to make them Google-proof.

It's your job to try and guess what games the original covers belong to.

LET ME JUST GO AND TELL MY FRIEND ALL THE ANSWERS LOL

No, don't do that. Refer to the FAQ/Guidelines.

Enough chitchat, give me the damn link to the puzzle already.

As you wish! Clicky (Note: The giveaway is over.)


The giveaway ends Monday at 5pm EST. I'll update this post with the answers after that.
Good luck and enjoy!

Update
-Added a wall of fame to OP. Hint for #10 is still a maybe on whether or not it'll come on Monday.
ALSO, the giveaway game isn't one of the games in the puzzle and isn't a "joke" game like Bad Rats.

6 and 7 took a couple looks. I could swear I searched for those words I could make out, but apparently not.

Got everything but 10.

7, 9 and 10 were the only ones I needed to look for on Steam, but now I'm stumped. Perhaps it's not available in my region?

Well, good luck all :)

Pretty lame that you required the "9" in question 10. I put Garry's Mod and it didn't work...didn't think to add the 9.
