It’s 20 degrees out there right now, with a wind chill of something like -3 (though it felt more like -20 during my 2 block walk from my car to the office…). So here’s some games to help keep you nice and toasty now that winter seems to be settling in to stay.

10. Beyond Good & Evil for PS2, Xbox, and GameCube. Explore the world map in your hovercraft, race, photograph wildlife… and as a bonus, sneak around, break into places, and head out to expose corruption and stop and evil invading force. Besides… with Jade wearing that outfit, it can’t be too cold.

9. Mirror’s Edge for PS3 and 360. Ok, so there’s nothing very “summery” about this per se, but the fury you will feel after having fallen from a 50 story building to your untimely demise should heat things up.

8. Super Mario Sunshine for GameCube. Head to the beach with Mario, enjoy the sand and surf… and squash some goombas along the way.

7. Rockband 2 for PS3 and 360. Work up a sweat on drums, or get into the groove on guitar or vocals. Either the physical activity will warm you up, or the utter humiliation will.

6. Tak and the Guardians of Gross for Wii. Spend some time with Tak and the rest of the Pupununu villagers in the jungle. Jungles are warm, right?

5. Donkey Konga 2 for GameCube. Or, if you prefer, spend some more time in the jungle with DK and Diddy, and play the bongos, instead.

4. Mario Kart Wii for Wii. The many races tracks of the Mario Kart circuit should take your ming off the fact that frostbite is setting in… as long as you avoid those ice-covered raceways.

3. Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party for Wii. Advertised as the first video game you can play with your butt, this one makes optional use of the Balance Board to get you up and moving.

2. Endless Ocean for Wii. Strap on your scuba tank and go for a swim in warm tropical waters.

1. Dance Dance Revolution Universe 3 for 360 or Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2 for Wii. If you’re not sweating after a few rounds of DDR, there’s either something very wrong with you, or you’re in way better shape than I am.
