For the week running up and through the end of E3, I'll be running this contest thread.  Each day for 7 days, starting Friday, I'll post 3 new mystery game clips: one cropped screenshot, one song clip, and one miscellaneous question.  The questions roll over to the next day, so every single question can be answered right up until the end.

Whomever has the most correct answers at the end of the week will win a copy of Picross 3D Happy (or alternatively your choice of VC/XBLA/PSN points card).

A test might be a good idea as we are a simple group, not well educated or naturally intelligent.
