No, don't open them if you don't want them.

Go to Wal-Mart, tell them they were gifts and you don't have the receipt. Chances are they'll let you exchange them. Their policies (on paper) have gotten stricter on returns lately, but in practice, they're pretty relaxed about that kind of thing.i_noseworthy
I know a couple of stores that will take them & I know a couple that won't as well.

I worked at walmart and they will scan them to make sure they were bought at walmart.

Why would you buy a bunch of games, then decide you didn't want them? Seems like you shouldn't have bought them in the first place........

You asked for a solution, I offered one. As for wal-mart scanning them, I was under the impression barcodes are allotted per sku, not per item. In other words, all copies of a game produced have the same barcode, given they were manufactured in the same place. Actually, I'm 99.9% sure that's the case. The printing on packaging would cost a fortune otherwise, since the typesets would have to be changed for every single cover produced...

This is your best bet. I've done it before there.

ya ur 100% right. thats exactly how its done. they can not scan them and see if they came from wal mart or not, there is no way they can tell because games, like you said are "allotted per sku and not per item"!

Well you can go to walmart and rip off the store or you could go to gamestop and trade them in, granted you won't get a lot of money for them at gamestop. You could also sell them on ebay or on craigslist. Just some ideas.

Attempting to return them at Walmart is your best bet.

That's only for consoles, not games.
