Magicka
Magicka is a satirical action-adventure game set in a rich fantasy world based on Norse mythology. The player assumes the role of a wizard from a sacred order tasked with stopping an evil sorcerer who has thrown the world into turmoil, his foul creations besieging the forces of good. Players will be able to combine elements to cast spells, wreaking havoc and devastation on the minions of darkness. They will also be able to team up with friends and fight their way through the campaign, or test their skills in the magickal arts through other challenging modes.

The rich, luscious colors somehow make the world a lot more believable than games like Crysis 2 could ever be. "…fling more spells than Gandalf on steroids…" Yet where Magicka truly shines is its unique gameplay.

The fact that, at the time of writing, Magicka had surpassed 150,000 sales, is just a testament to how fun and addictive the core game really is. Now that most of the major hiccups out of the way, this is definitely a must-buy game, but it really needs to be experienced to get how much fun it is. We hope Paradox also learns a lesson with this as far as QA is concerned - although the game did have a beta, which is the odd thing.

Magicka's clever, inspired twists on the straight action-RPG are sure to result in hours of freeform chaotic fun.
