I'm still staring at #2 myself SexMeat or I'd try and work out a better hint for you.

Edit: Also, I keep feeling like the fact that it says 'You love word puzzles' is directly mocking me.
You know Tarlane I'm glad you mentioned it, because we included that just for you ;)
I'm no stranger to sarcasm, sir! Though I'm going to pretend it wasn't and instead be honored.

Hint for 2#
Its not out yet, and isn't the first game in its series if that helps
Uh, seriously? I don't even know the answer yet, but that is a massive clue.

I really don't like the hidden word ones since they are not strictly true. For instance "MYST" is an applicable answer for #2, but not correct. I did get the right answer after you 'hint' but.. yeah. I just don't think this one is particularly well done.
Well my clue isn't a dead give away. Unless you want to try to brute force it through every game that isn't out yet.

Oh, don't think for a second that I didn't consider it!

That would probably be more effective than my current strategy of staring at it and trying to will the right letters to stand out like it was a 3d picture.

Ok, just got two. How is the clue helpful on that one? I mean, I really don't see how it'll help you get the answer, maybe you can see how it relates to the game after you get the answer. Just asking if that actually helped anyone get that answer.

Any chance of a slightly more narrow clue for number two of day three? I've read the one given, and I'm just utterly stumped. Though I'm proud to say today is the first day I got one all by myself. Sad that it took me three days, I know, but I am apparently not that good at puzzles.

someone want to give a different hint for D3 number 2? I'm not getting it, and there's way too many letters to brute-force it. something that's related to the theme of the answer would be nice.

its a game that's release has been pushed to at least 2011 and is being published by a company thats pretty well known for RPGs
I can't get 1 or 3 for the life of me though, my tired brain is not working

EDIT: if you think my hint narrows it too much I'll change it, just lemme know

EDIT2: Ha! #1 is easy, I'm just an idiot

I know it didn't help me. I don't even see how it relates to the game.

I just
Googled "Upcoming games" and used the Wikipedia page on games coming out in the next year, because someone said before that it hadn't come out yet. It's very helpful if you're stuck

Alright, now I'm of the opinion that Tron:Evolution should be the answer to the second one since the letters are actually there in that order. But, it's not.

for number 3, you just need the right set of keys.

Finally got 3-2. I can see how the hint figures in now, I mean, I thought it was somethign along the lines, but still, very clever. 3-1 became almost obvious when my wife pointed out a different name for one of the pictures, and 3-3 was downright devious, had to try it a few times until I hit on what I needed to do with what I had.

Big spoilers:
You're halfway right with that answer

Tron does fit the letters, but the title is 2 words too short

Edit: just to add to the clues for D3 Puzzle2:

The new trailer [which was released recently] is several minutes of technological awesomeness.

For #3 i'm a little lost.

Is dvorak along the right lines or should I keep searching "diffr'n't strokes?"

Thanks for all the help with #2. I've honestly never played the original so I'm not as hyped about the sequel at the moment.
