Alright, since the giveaways are going to end soon, I am giving you all one last chance at hints for Puzzle #9. Please reply to this post stating which questions you are having trouble with and I will provide some hints for those that appear in most of the posts.

Well, looks like I'm going to have to remain stuck on P9Q4 and P8Q1. Thanks for the puzzles and giveaways!

Yeah, Puzzle 8 was the only one that stumped me all the way through. Any chance of a hint after the associated giveaway ends? I enjoy solving these things for the fun of solving them, and I'd rather have another hint than just be given the answer. Plus, I'd like a way to test my suspicion that I put in something very close to the right answer and just didn't format/spell it right.

Well, congrats on getting one more than me :-)
I am sure P9Q4 is so hard for me because I have not seen that show, or maybe I am just over-thinking things...
I had the perfect answer to that question based on my research, but it says it's wrong, so I don't know...

Google did not help me, seems random, maybe Google does not really exist? Or maybe I just need to Google harder next time...

Well, the giveaway is over, so if the OP doesn't tell, can you let me know where I went wrong? Thanks.
UPDATE:
Well, I thought I had tried every game on Steam that had "ghost" in it and also made sense with the puzzle, but I guess not. I haven't seen the word "buster" used in that way very much, so I guess I just missed it; it was also harder to find games with "ghost" as part of a bigger word instead of a separate word by itself. Anyway, I am disappointed in myself for not getting that one...

Thanks, that helped) I ashamed that I did not found it by myself...

Thank you!
But don't blame yourself. I solved it more by coincidence, than by thinking)
And I belive it's very hard for non-native English speakers. At least, it was hard for me)

That's was the verb I was thinking about. But still no idea what the answer can be. Perhaps I should blame my bad knowledge of english.

I will quote Yeliena on this one: "really? REALLY? You really think people are that dumb?". Despite the fact that the "no calling out" rule stops me from posting the names, you know who you are, you should be ashamed of yourselves and expect to be permanently blacklisted by me.
I understand that the puzzle might have been quite hard and annoying, but that does in no way justify your action. If I had wanted to make a group puzzle I would have done so. I'm really disappointed in you and your shameless cheating.

Looked up all steam games... Still can't answer P9Q1( I'm too stupid.

If there will be examples - it will be not puzzles, just tasks)
Comment has been collapsed.
I hope you will give correct answers? I'm very curious about the puzzles I didn't solve)
Comment has been collapsed.
Incredible. I would never solve this. I'm completely don't understand solution for P7.
P8 - I'd bet there is no country in your profile...Maybe I'm missed it. I tried many variations, but all wrong)
P10 - I tried to translate Mrgl-Mrgl into murloc language... But thats not important, because I never found answer to last question) And, by the way, I didn't found online translator, so I made it myself)
And thank you for puzzles!

I removed the country from my profile because I dislike being added by compatriots who ask for free stuff.
Mrgl-Mrgl was already supposed to be in the murloc language so I didn't translate it again.
And regarding P7, it was very easy, as I have already said, they are Collective nouns, you were supposed to figure out what the images represented ( google reverse image search works too) and the answers were the names of the animals to which the noun applies. For the first question for example, the image represented Murder (murder of crows).

Hello, Steamgifts.
It's been over a month since I've made a puzzle giveaway and I decided that it's time I made a new one, only this time things are a bit different.
There are 10 puzzles/quizzes and 10 giveaways in total, but out of those only one giveaway is for a fairly nice non-bundle game whereas the rest are for cheap, bundled games. Each of the bundled giveaways has a minimum CV requirement of $5 while that of the non-bundle is $30.01.
I will not tell you which is which and you will only be able to find it by solving or by getting lucky. The order of the puzzles is quite random and so are the giveaways for most part. As Award would say: "Each puzzle requires a different kind of knowledge.", but Google should be able to help you overcome most of the obstacles. Some puzzles will definitely prove more difficult than others, but as we all know, difficulty is relative and subjective, so I expect to see at least a few solvers on each.
All current giveaways will end on May 24th at approximately 6 PM GMT. Right now, my plan is to make a second non-bundle puzzle and giveaway that will only be accessible to those who have solved ALL the previous puzzles and that will last until the end of the month, but this entirely depends on the number of people who manage to solve them all. It may or may not happen.
I've checked all the puzzles to make sure that there are no mistakes, but I did not manually solve them all as I believe that the first 10 solvers deserve their places on the Leaderboards. So if you are sure that there is a mistake in one of the questions feel free to post here and I will check it again for you, but because I want to avoid the unpleasant experiences from my previous puzzles, if you report a mistake, I check it and there is nothing wrong, your future reports will be ignored. I don't want to be mean, but I also don't want to see the thread filled with fake reports.
As per usual puzzle rules, please do not share answers, links, do not work together (this is not a group puzzle) and do not try to cheat in any way. If you need hints post in this thread and I will see what I can do. The more hint requests I receive, the easier it is for me to figure which questions actually do need them. I might also add additional giveaways to the puzzles that prove to be the hardest (except for the non-bundle one).
Please post here when you solve a puzzle and also bump it as often as you can because I want the puzzles to get as much exposure as possible.
The puzzles are completely unrelated and solving one will not help you solve another, please don't waste time trying to find connections between them as there really aren't any.
Solutions are now included here and I will also highlight the questions that some of you found to be more difficult.
Puzzle #1 - For the last question, the name of the game could be obtained by combining the first letter of each of the previous answers.
Puzzle #2
Puzzle #3
Puzzle #4
Puzzle #5
Puzzle #6
Puzzle #7 - Collective nouns
Puzzle #8 - The English version of my name was posted on my profile along with my country. All you had to do was to translate it.
Puzzle #9 - Nothing to add here, now that the solution is posted.
Puzzle #10 - This puzzle was created using the murloc translator that is available online, you had to answer in the Murloc language and the last question required some googling.
My Blacklist is being enforced on every giveaway so I am posting it here too as to save those on it some time.
Alright, that is all I had to say, the official starting date of the puzzles is May 16th.
Good luck!
EDIT May 18th 2014:
As some of you may have already figured, the initial non-bundle giveaway was #9. I've now made a few changes, so now #7 also has a non-bundle giveaway and I've decided to add an additional bundled GA to #10 due to how unpopular the first title was.
EDIT May 25th 2014 - Added the solutions.
