6.) DaGeDar (DS)

I thought it was...

What can I do with that? It's gibberish.

But it's actually...

I don't have any kids, and my nephews only like cool things like Star Wars and Batman, so before I stumbled upon this game I had no idea what "DaGeDar" meant. I still don't, actually, but research tells me that DaGeDar are animals that turn into orbs and compete in races. That's the lore, anyway; the upshot is that this is a toy line with a collection angle and a whole lot of tracks and racing balls to accumulate. What I've seen of the DS title reminds me a lot of the Nintendo 64's underrated Uniracers; it's also the second game on this list that contains spherical animals, so it has that going for it, too.

7.) Where Is My Heart? (PSN)

I thought it was...

Despite the fact that I'm getting a little tired of zombies, I was kind of hoping this was an undead love story. The runner-up: an adaptation of Jason Statham's tour de force, Crank 2: High Voltage.

But it's actually...

Where Is My Heart? is a super-cute puzzle platformer about a family of monsters lost in the woods. In each level, you must collect hearts to open up the exit and progress. The catch is that each 2D stage is broken up into blocks and shuffled around, so jumping "up" from one block might put you into a lower block halfway across the screen. Does that make sense? No? Good thing this is the Internet.

8.) Bugs'N'Balls (DSiWare)

I thought it was...

It depends on whether that "N" is short for "and" or "in." If it's the former, I'd guess it's some kind of insect-based sports game. If it's the latter...on second thought, I should probably save the vivid descriptions of my nightmares for my therapist.

But it's actually...

It's a sports game, thank goodness. Bugs'N'Balls is a bizarro version of dodgeball in which a cadre of creepy crawlies hurl projectiles at each other. What are they throwing, anyway? Rocks? Seeds? Let us not allow detail to fritter our lives away. The player with the fewest balls on his side of the "court" when time expires wins. Basically, it looks like the kind of game you would find in the DSi Store.

9.) Battle Stuff (Xbox 360)

I thought it was...

You can't have a battle without a bunch of stuff, and maybe this is the story of that stuff.

But it's actually...

The real premise of Battle Stuff is even weirder than its name: It's a Fun Labs title in which you scan household items with your Kinect, and then they fight in a boxing ring. All of the promotional material claims that you can "coach" your battle stuff, but none of the dozens of 16-second YouTube videos people are uploading show where exactly the interaction is. It wasn't a complete wash, though; at least I learned once and for all which Star Wars movie is the best.

10.) Pee & Poo Save the World (iOS)

I thought it was...

That title is way more ridiculous than any joke I could make. I'm just gonna let it mellow.

But it's actually...

Aliens are snatching up the world's cutest animals. Sonic is busy with his own game, so it falls upon a puddle of urine and a pile of poop to come to the rescue. Why? Because fart noises, that's why. Pee and Poo battle the alien hordes with an assortment of unsanitary weapons, including fiery bags and "water" balloons. It's lowbrow, sure, but I'm probably the last one to judge. In all honesty, it looks kind of fun.
