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.

Do we just have to send in the names, or shall we use Paint to show our solutions? :D

Just write them.
Wow, so many games....
is SLRCLATOT any good? haven't heard of it before.
And no, i don't compete. For the time spending searching the picture i can
better go to work and than buy me several games from the money.
Wow, this is hard I just got 20+Fez and ready to give up.
40! Finally!

That was fun. :)

Edit:
As a hint for others: It really helped me to copy the riddle into paint and strike out the solutions I already found.

Found Z ..but it's not here :-(
Gave up after 33. Can't afford putting more time into this. :P
I've found 40 if you include Fez, but since Fez doesn't count I only have 39. I've looked all over this damn board and I can't find the last one.

ruzenqures: I'm out after 10 games. My eyes hurt :)
Ditto!
DOTA is there. Indication of a future release.

I am at 34. Still searching.

Fez doesn't count becaue GOG said it doesn't.

Still got nine to go myself. I actually printed out the image. Much easier to do, like a newspaper puzzle. ;)
