HOLY SHIT. Everything you do in this games makes you feel completely awful, and yet I want more.

2. Dust: An Elysian TailDust: An Elysian Tailhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Dust_An_Elysian_TailOpens wiki page

Easily my biggest surprise of this year. The gameplay is fantastic, the art is gorgeous, and the story has an incredible amount of heart.

3. Spec Ops: The LineSpec Ops: The Linehttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Spec_Ops_The_LineOpens wiki page

Goddamn, the story that Spec Ops tells is an amazing tale of how far a man is willing to go.

4. JourneyJourneyhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Journey_2012Opens wiki page

Man, what a Journey indeed.

5. Trials EvolutionTrials Evolutionhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Trials_EvolutionOpens wiki page

Man, this game pissed me off so much, but I couldn't stop playing. Those late levels were some of the most brutal things I've done.

6. XCOM: Enemy UnknownXCOM: Enemy Unknownhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/XCOM_Enemy_UnknownOpens wiki page

Fuck some of the late game enemies in this game.

7. Far Cry 3Far Cry 3https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Far_Cry_3Opens wiki page

The story may fall apart, but roaming the island is such a satisfying experience unlike anything else this year.

8. Halo 4Halo 4https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Halo_4Opens wiki page

343 set out to make a Halo game, and that's exactly what they did. While the story had its ups and downs, everything else was extremely tight.

9. Mass Effect 3Mass Effect 3https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Mass_Effect_3Opens wiki page

Aside from Bioware completely fucking up the final game, it was a fantastic ride. The character pieces were an amazing send off.

The soundtrack, visuals, and gameplay made a great package.
