Obfuscate
verb
1. to confuse, bewilder, or stupefy.
2. to make obscure or unclear.
3. to darken.

I chose obfuscate because I have seen it used on the Gamespot website, including in a recent review, but was never quite sure of its meaning. You could say the reviewer obfuscated me by using the word obfuscate. The third meaning, to darken, is used in a visualcontext to indicate that objects are becoming unclear, and hard to discern. Some examples;

"Don't obfuscate the matter with meaningless details."
"The rain obfuscated the road ahead."
"Sir, you are the most obfuscating person I've ever met" Useful against those that always want to make everything complicated.
