9. King's Bounty: The Legend
Formats – PC
This Russian-made strategy-roleplaying game is a mad as a pig in a hat. Really, properly mad. As you'll discover when you're caught in a love triangle with a zombie and a frog, performing amateur dentistry on dragons and leading an army comprising bears, vampires, giant snakes, fairies and pirates.
10. Guitar Hero World Tour
Formats – Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii
The rock-centric rhythm action series escapes its traditional guitar confines for a full band setup – drums and vocals now join the strumming. It's Guitar Hero's response to Rock Band, essentially. An alternative to this is Rock Band 2, which has arguably a better track-lising but is 360 only.
11. Lego Batman
Platforms – Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, PC
Despite the presence of ol'Bats, this is about as far from The Dark Knight as you can get. It's puzzle-platforming for kids and adults like, duffing up plastic supervillains while constructing escape routes and traps from nearby Legos. At its best in two-player, both of you working together to beat the levels.
12. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Platforms – PC, Xbox 360
Base-building, tank-smashing real-time strategy with its tongue firmly in its cheek. Set in an alternate timeline where World War II never happened, and instead the Allieds wage war against a Tesla-powered Soviet Empire and a robot-powered Japanese legion. Fortunately it's as inventive as it is silly – its crazed alterna-tech units are a joy to play with.
