ha, that's incredibly funny =)
Though I doubt I'll play it to the end, but I already have half of them =)

Ow my brain. I kind of love this puzzle though. I think I've gotten all the easy ones out of the way..
Edit: Only two left. I've solved both hints (I think). Soon, soon....
Haha, one of them has another game name in it, which I'm 99% sure is not related to the answer.
Edit 2: NOPE I was way wrong on the hint, but I got it anyway. ONE LEFT.
Edit 3: I think 6 has defeated me. I'm just not familiar enough with the genre.
EDIT 4: SOLVED.
I loved this. VERY difficult, but solvable. Grade: A

There are a couple I haven't solved so far. I'm wondering if perhaps I'm not familiar with the games. Otherwise I might just be having trouble with the anagramming.

Some of the games might be lesser known. The hints are anagrams related to the games, solving them might give some hints of the games one is not familiar with. On the other hand the hints can be anything so it might be little harder to solve, when not knowing what to look for.

Yeah, I got one of the hints (at least, I think I did), and so far it hasn't helped. (Number 6)
Number 8, on the other hand, I haven't worked out either yet.

Hope I'm not spoiling too much, but the hint for 8 kinda requires some knowledge about the game (so it might be hard to see the right solution for hint), but the game itself shouldn't be that rare (well ok, maybe it is, at least I know it). Though I have to say the hint for 8 is my favorite.

I've only gotten 2. I'm really bad at this.
Just got a third. I knew the game well and it still took me a while to get.

Even if you attempt to use one of the anagram solving tools, it can still be extremely hard, especially with many games using words that aren't part of a standard English dictionary.

Whats the giveaway for? Before spending my entire afternoon puzzling I want to make sure I don't have it :P

Stuck on 6. I'm adamant about finishing this now.

So how about some anagrams:
http://itstoohard.com/puzzle/kEtxE1KD
Answers are game names. Spelling taken from wikipedia.
Some games are little rarer/older to make anagrams harder (internet is full of automatic solvers).
Hopefully it's not too hard.
1st Edit:
It's nice to see some have managed to solve this. Most people seem to have problems with questions 6 and 8.
The giveaway runs till Monday, so I might give some hints during the weekend, depending the number of solvers we have by then (I want to keep the odds good for those who managed without hints).
For those struggling with 8: the hint in itstoohard is not the type of a game it's more a thematic idea.
Solutions:
1: super hexagon
2: faerie solitaire
3: bioshock
4: Secret Files: Tunguska
5: The Binding of Isaac
6: Hatoful Boyfriend
7: World of Tanks
8: Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale
9: Borderlands
10: Battletoads
11: The Longest Journey
12: 10000000
The hint for 8 was stalinism coo! which is anagram of "not socialism". This was double hint towards the Recettear's motto "capitalism ho!". In the end 8 (and maybe 6 also) turned to be harder than I expected, but as there were still solvers, I didn't put up any extra hints.
Big thanks for everyone who participated!
