Try to guess these games by their outlandish, absurd Steam Tag pages

Riddle me this...

Riddle me this...

Steam's userbase has been busy as a hive of caffeinated bees ever since Valve gave them the ability to tag games. Suddenly, game descriptions were being crowdsourced, taken from the creators to the users. But... because this is the internet, the tags themselves bounce between hilarious, informative, and bitter. Sometimes they're helpful, other times they're not.

One thing they are, though, is descriptive. They definitely describe... something. All the furor over tagging got us to thinking: can you name a game based soley on its tags? You've got 24 examples to work with here, and you'll find the answers at the back of this gallery. Let us know how you fare in the comments, below!
