Wow, I just guessed number one and got it right! I'm a little worried, because I was only focusing on the donkeys at the time, and Donkey Kong, somewhat naturally led to... well, the answer.
My tip to those trying to work out No. 1: The donkeys serve as the clue to the first part of the first word (there's two words). That's just about giving it away.

Phew. I just noticed this thread, so I had all three days of puzzle to solve at once. I just got a braingasm. Now, I finally got them all and I can smoke my cigarette of victory... For now 
Anyway, couple more hints for those day 3 puzzles:
#1
#2
#3
Additional clue for #3 for people surfing the board, who wants to search instead of think of an answer (no fun, but that's also the way to go):
Also, I have giant cookie to they guy coming up with those riddles. Apart from 3-2, all of the puzzles were mind challenging but not ridiculously random.
Even bigger cookie for referencing the game in 3-3 for reasons stated in my second clue spoiler for it
Anyway, couple more hints for those day 3 puzzles:
#1
Dream within a dream? It's not Inception. And not really a dream, more like a memory. Also think of an insult related to that donkey, and type the first game you'll think of after that.
#2
Upcoming prequel of short named game from long time ago, beloved by many hardcore gamers. Dunno what's the deal with those hints, it was almost pure guesswork on my part.
#3
Dvorak.
Also, the hint means multiple characters solving their own problems, but working toward the same or similar goals.

My favorite game of all time. I talked about it on the Escapist many, many, MANY times. Check out my profile for posts in GOTY threads and you'll see it on the first place every time.

I'd say. I was staring at the message for 2 hours before I got it.erbkaiser said:
Oh well. I'm willing to help out if anyone needs it.
Nice work Escapist Staff but can you stop the Brain Train?!
...Yes you probably could please dont make Day 4 extra hard
You are almost there, try looking the other way.civatrix said:
On 3-1, I found it easier to just focus on the TWO donkeys, and didn't even need the rest of the pictures. In fact, I only remembered the girl's name after I found out the name of the game...
Ok, Day 3 wasnt so hard as Day 2. The first puzzle is quite easy. The second and third took me a while to figure out.Still, i have to congratulate the people who came up with these, they´re fun and challengigng.
I guess tomorrow we´ll be getting two puzzles, eh?

I have a problem with #3
since I don't have the standards of an American keyboard. Wat to do? Anyone know a site where I can find an american layout?
EDIT: I forgot to do a quick google search, I have it now. But I still have a problem. Should I use the ISO or ANSI variant for the clue?
Second Edit: For all those who're having a problem with it you're ment to have an ANSI keyboard, it's basically the american standard QWERTY.

I have no idea how, since there are always new remakes of games being made, but on the first try, thanks to your hint, i got it right.The_Evermind said:
Thanks!
Now all 3 are done.
3-1 i got all thanks to the 2 animals i will not name who are on the picture.
This stuff is getting really hard, i can't really imagine doing the second one without any help...
Ggrrrrr...American spelling and American keyboard needed. Am disappoint.
But got them all.

Hints :
1: Well, probably kill them all would be the sum of it. Maybe so he can stop it one day?
2: God is in Kylie's hotpants.
3: Snow wouldn't be this, Sleet might be, Ice definitely is.
