Game: Dominator

I don't think any other Facebook game has thrown me into the action so quickly as Dominator. No tutorials pop up with cartoony military types barking out orders, no floating arrows indicating crucial actions mar the interface; instead, within seconds, Dominator tosses you into the gridded battlefield with soldiers on both sides already in place. It reveals its debts to turn-based games like Final Fantasy and Might & Magic as early as the first move, and it flaunts its focus on challenge as the opposing team starts to mow down your preset jarheads. It may even be possible to lose that first firefight.
