A Greek mythology-themed action-RPG from a studio specializing in iPod games, Numen: Contest of Heroes is predictably simplistic but engaging enough, especially when you consider its low asking price.

At its core, Avadon: The Black Fortress is still a Spiderweb game featuring numerous opposing factions, tight exploration, and engaging turn-based combat. But it's also been infused with some BioWare ideas like story followers, cosmetic dialogue choices and a linear narrative. And it's up to an individual to decide whether those make the experience better or worse.

An action-RPG with dynamic procedurally-generated towns and dungeons, Din's Curse and its Demon War expansion offer plenty to do to those looking to slay some monsters and acquire copious amounts of loot. But if instead you're looking for an engaging campaign and a strong story, then this one is likely not for you.

Featuring a killer, unique story, incredibly addictive gameplay, and a depth of world-building not seen before in comic-book games, Batman: Arkham Asylum is the perfect mashup of stealth and action. A must-play masterpiece that is nearly perfect.

A strategy / RPG hybrid in the vein of Dungeon Keeper, Dungeons may seem a bit simplistic to the veterans of this particular subgenre, but for everyone else, or just someone looking for a light humorous romp in the shoes of an evil overlord, it's a perfectly acceptable way to spend a couple dozen hours.
