If you can dig up an old copy of Hero Quest too you'd probably like that.

If you're into the tile based games, Zombies is kind of interesting, although IMHO it's a little overly random, and not nearly as interesting as the other games you listed. Still, it's fun.

A game we've been playing lately is Filty Rich, a "3D" board game by Richard Garfield (creator of, amongst other things, Magic: The Gathering). The idea is you open shops, and then collect income from them, with the objective being to be the first one to buy three luxuries (trophy spouse, patent of nobility, private jet, etc...). The "game board" is a binder with four 3x3 plastic card-protector sheets inside. When you open a shop you place it's "sign" into the card-pockets on the sheet (a sign could span multiple pockets), then you roll some dice to see which pockets get visited, and collect income, and then there's a 50% chance you'll move to a new random page.

The game is "3d" since on a given page you can "see through" to pages underneath. It's quite a clever and fun little game. You can see the rule-book at the link above, if you're curious.

This game has a few issues, but it is an interesting combination RPG board game. These are the guys that made Zombies, which is alos fun.
It's survival horror, with an interesting, simple mechanic for combat.

The game Zombies has been a big hit with all my friends. It looks like it's for kids but we're all in our 30s and get a good kick out of it. What's fun is that you win by screwing the other player. Lot's of laughs.

There are also additional add-on packs Zombies 2, 3, 3.5 and 4 so it must be selling well!

The full list of new games is quite interesting. Twilight Creations is coming out with "All Wound Up", a board game featuring WIND UP TOYS. A new edition of Kobolds Ate My Baby! The fun never stops!

This game is totally fun.

Zombies!!

I have the original and the second expansion. We usually just play with the expansion now, since the game balance/pace seems to be a bit better.

As the players take their turns, they lay out the map, kill zombies, and move zombies.

Takes a few rounds for everyone to "get" it, but then it is good times till you leave everyone in the Zombie infested mall from the safety of your helicopter!

Zombies!!! by Twilight Creations is a great game that can be played through in an hour or less. There are elements of both strategy and luck, and this game has one serious "screw your friends" factor. I believe that there are also two expansions.
