Well if it helps you feel better, I enjoyed it. Got all but 4 or so with a friend, then I tried to find the answer for the rest, but I didn't find any for 5C.

What did you guys settle on for 3C? That was the only highly contested answer being discussed or reddit, where I found this puzzle. Welcome to the site, by the way. Always good to see a new face!
And the answer to 5C is LittleBigPlanet.

Sorry, I meant to write 3C originally. The only thing that I could think of for that one was Eternal Darkness, but given how obvious the others are once you figure them out, I doubt that's right.

Re: Fun Video Game Rebus
The most popular guess for 3C is Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, but it is highly contested since the rebus would be referencing the subtitle and the game itself is a handheld rerelease - both details which most of the other games don't share. People have guessed the answer is everything from Timeshift to Afterburner.

That Disgaea one sounds like the best fit so far, but I agree that the problems those problems mean that it probably still isn't right.
