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.

40 finally, god that was tedious.

Tip: take a piece of paper or two and cover all but the line you're focusing on.

Where & how are we exactly supposed to submit our answers???...

See instructions directly above the riddle. :)

Edit: Regarding the "how", a list of titles is sufficient.

the_bard: Any idea if tomorrow's release is hidden in there?
Candidates are "GTA", "DotA", "Z", "Gon", "Ogre", and "Magic". :)

Sorry, but can't be bothered searching. :P
Found 20...

Am I the only one who searched for "poop" in the catalog?
I found Borg...

Star Trek games confirmed XD

Really though, probably not :(

Well, after seeing "Poop" in the riddle, I spontaneously wrote down "Master of Orion 3" in my list of solutions, but I removed it later. ;)
Bah i give up on 12-th. My eyes are starting to hurt
Sent the mail to GOG with my 36 words found. I couldn't find any more. I looked everywhere and oh well. :)
Thanks for the fun. I should have prepared myself for classes tomorrow. Curse you GOG.
Finally a contest I could participate in. I mean I can't write, nor sing, nor make animations or draw or do anything. But I can play puzzles and games. Well I keep my fingers crossed.
Hmm, no e-mail is mentioned in OP, where I should send this? o.O
