The giveaway is complete and the answers are below!

Riddle #1 - You're being bested in a fight. It's time to give up. What do you say?

Answer - Uncle (u). As in, "Say Uncle!" when kids are in a fight. It was also a big line in the film, A Christmas Story.

Riddle #2 - The Soviets are invading New York. You have initiated Red Alert. You need to call Moscow and speak to the Premier, but what Building is he in? (Proper name)

Answer - A reference to Command and Conquer Red Alert 2. Which I hinted at in the riddle itself. The opening cinematic shows the President being notified of incoming Soviet troops. He replies, "You better double-check this with Norad, this doesn't make any sense. I'll call the Kremlin." (K)

OLD Riddle #3 - I am offering the best price of this hit game on the net for 24 hours. It's powered by Steam and crushes Orks. What am I? (Proper name)

NEW Riddle #3 - I am an Actor who played in a popular, cult-classic film released in 2001. I'm looking for my wife's murderer, but for the life of me I can't remember him! I can't even remember the film's name! Perhaps I should tattoo it on my arm. What's MY name? (Proper name)

Answer - The old one was Greenmangaming (G), while the answer to the new riddle is Guy Pearce (G) from the film Memento.

Riddle #4 - I am Disguised by a wrapper so people do not know my true identity. I am weak and malleable, but I am not a Clark bar. You know my first name, but what's my last? (Proper name)

Answer - Clark Kent is portrayed as a weak and malleable identity/character, so he can better fit into society. The two capitalized words, Disguised and Clark is a reference to DC, as in DC comics. Also, Clark is the first name of Clark Kent, the alter ego of Superman. Clark bar was the hint to guessing Clark's last name, Kent. (K)

Riddle #5 - The Spartans had one, but they choose to fight. I hide in the Shadows and the enemies I flee from are Deadly. I have no urge to cut your throat, only your purse strings. What is my Profession? (Proper name)

Answer - Thief. (T) Profession is capitalized because the profession is a proper name. The words Deadly and Shadows were also capitalized to further hint at the answer. In this case the game Thief: Deadly Shadows. The spartan reference is from the film 300, where King Leonidas yells to his troops, "Spartans! What is your profession!?" The reference merely served to hint at a profession, and not the Spartans themselves.

Thanks to all who played! Link: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/uKGKT/half-life-2

One Entry so far! Was expecting more, but I guess that's because almost everyone has Half-Life 2 though. Good luck to all!

I think I got em all except the first one, which I can't figure out for the life of me. I tried every lower case letter for the first character and failed, so I obviously have at least one of the other 4 wrong too D=
Damn you OP, your riddles have captured me. Awesome idea for a giveaway, I love it.

So, just want to make sure I understood. Is the correct link is written as http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/xXXXX/half-life-2 with x being a lowercase letter and X being an uppercase letter?

Since the last 4 hints ask for proper names, does that mean the last 4 characters in the code are capitalized?

Yes, that's correct.

Huh. Some of these are actually confusing to me. Mostly the first, since I've never heard anyone say anything but curses in fights.

In ridlle #2 proper answer should consist of two words, right?

If that were the case, you would only use the first letter of the first word.

Just a small tip to avoid confusion. If an answer is two or more words, you're only using the FIRST letter of the FIRST word and nothing else.

Good luck!

I think the better tip for these people (I already own Half-Life) would be to clarify the first riddle. There are DOZENS of ways to surrender. "I surrender," "I yield," "Uncle! Uncle!" just to name a few.

"Uncle! Uncle!" sounds reasonable. It'll be the first thing I'll try if I get into a fight.

Does this apply to riddle 4, where you ask us for the last name of the candy? Thanks in advance (:

The answer to riddle 4 is only one word, but if it were two then yep that's the way it would be.

3 because it confuses me with the sale and not sure if Steam means the program.. And 4 because I have no idea about any kind of candy since I live in Australia :|

Focus less on the candy itself and more of what some of the context clues I use represent.

Riddle #3 is no longer applicable as the 24 hour period is over, but it should be easy to uncover with some internet sleuthing. I have created a new riddle to avoid confusion:

NEW Riddle #3 - I am an Actor who played in a popular, cult-classic film released in 2001. I'm looking for my wife's murderer, but for the life of me I can't remember him! I can't even remember the film's name! Perhaps I should tattoo it on my arm. What's MY name? (Proper name)

They also need to not have HL2, which might also be a reason why there's so little entrees...
