Video-games Mondegreens

Question

Inspired by TV Title Mondegreens, I, too, came up with a similar puzzle. It is still based on Mondegreens, obviously, but with video-games!

Each of these 10 descriptions will lead you to a (weird) phrase or sequence of words wich, when (badly) misheard, will give you the name of the game.

As an example :
An insolent boxing Apollo
would give:
A sassy Creed -> Assassin's creed

And here are the ten clues to find out:

Chubbier, next not heavy (found by @Saeïdryl)
Goku's friend wheat powder (found by @Saeïdryl)
Legolas' dishonesty (found by @Paige Meinke)
The Iron man's father balloon for showing-off (found by @gnovice)
Hot beverage for Spartacus' fellows (found by @gnovice)
Higher cute marsupial (found by @gnovice)
Mixed great geographic feature (found by @Milo P)
The 18th Ulysses, the 6th, the 15th and the greek 19th (found by @Gustavo Gabriel)
Assault a person (found by @gnovice)
Evening meal animal flesh in hot water (found by @gnovice)

Some may be easy, and some may be far-fetched. Let's see how much you get!

Yes, I thought about it while "reverse-thinking" your descriptions — Saeïdryl, Mar 13 '18 at 14:38
It would probably be rude to condense everyone's partial answer into one answer.. — A.B., Mar 13 '18 at 15:01
After 1 hour, seven of these have already been found ! The 4, 5 & 7 are still missing — Keelhaul, Mar 13 '18 at 15:03
@A.B. More often that not, resolving a puzzle is a group effort, the check mark will be awarded to the one making the effort to condense all the answers while participating in their elaboration ;) — Keelhaul, Mar 13 '18 at 15:05
@Keelhaul Is it possible to condense them all into a "wiki" answer? I have no idea of when they are applied — Saeïdryl, Mar 13 '18 at 15:20
Just to get out of the way, number 4 isn't "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion", is it? — Gustavo Gabriel, Mar 13 '18 at 16:43

9 is the "correct" one, 7 is not ;) – Keelhaul Mar 13 '18 at 14:59
@Keelhaul: Yeah, I thought 7 was a stretch. – gnovice Mar 13 '18 at 15:00
5 is wrong too :p – Keelhaul Mar 13 '18 at 15:35
@Keelhaul: Took another stab. Is 5 any better? – gnovice Mar 13 '18 at 16:18
It is! (I'd only use the nation's name rather than the the people's name, the homophony is slightly better that way). Since you found the most answers, maybe you could round them up (only the 4th is missing) and get that green mark ;) – Keelhaul Mar 13 '18 at 16:21
Well done for number 4! I'd just replace balloon by ball ;) – Keelhaul Mar 13 '18 at 18:28

I had another idea for 9. Yours works though, can you find the intended one? It's a more "classical" game. – Keelhaul Mar 13 '18 at 14:06

That's not it (as for number 5, in case you add some more in the meantime) – Keelhaul Mar 13 '18 at 14:07
rot13 "V jbhyq tb sbe Junpx zna, abg nggnpx zna." Or it really is too far fetched to be a mondegreen – PL457 Mar 13 '18 at 14:23
@PL457 Good idea – Sensoray Mar 13 '18 at 14:25

Number 9 is still not wat I had in mind, but this one is quite broad I must admit. Still, your answer for this one is a bit too far fetched^^ – Keelhaul Mar 13 '18 at 14:33

Welcome to Puzzling.SE! Could you please edit your answer to include spoiler tags, so as not to spoil your solution for anyone else who wants to have a go at the puzzle? Thanks! – F1Krazy Mar 13 '18 at 14:50
I couldn't find how to do so, could you enlight me please :) – momo545 Mar 13 '18 at 14:51
Just add >! before each of the last two lines, and that should hide them. – F1Krazy Mar 13 '18 at 14:52
That's not it, sorry (as for the 7, in case you add more) – Keelhaul Mar 13 '18 at 15:00
