I've recently been transfixed with a little worm that vanquishes its foes by, to quote, "vocabulizing" them. Yes, it's Bookworm Adventure Deluxe by Popcap.
You play a little worm called Lex that, using an arsenal packed with lexicons, attempts to save this little creature called Cassandra. Lingustic heroism never seemed any more sexy.
Anyway the game is pretty fun, and you can surprise your opponents:
Aha!! Gotcha!
The amount of damage that you inflict onto your opponents is directly proportional to the length of the word that you conjugate. So while the word "Aha" is catchy and will knock him off-guard, it deals only about half a heart of damage.
But try using this word which I managed to fish out the other day:
When our powers combine..
I think I just sent him up to outer space.
This game rocks but its price tag is ridiculous. US$30 for an electronic scrabble and animated RPG crossover registers as an outcast in my cost-value analysis. I'd rather get Medivial 2: Total War. I've been holding off that for a long time.

Oh! So it was you. I was looking for his Midnight's Children and all were either "missing" or "out on loan" or somehow, "in transit". I think it was stuck on the MRT.
