XCOM: Enemy Unknown

1. XCOM: Enemy Unknown

A dream come true for a fan of the original X-COM like me. Firaxis made a fantastic game that I already finished twice and i know i'll be playing this for years to come.

The Walking Dead

2. The Walking Dead

The most intense experience I had in gaming in years, maybe ever. The writing is fantastic and there are true roleplaying moments in that game that RPG games should be looking at.

Darksiders II

3. Darksiders II

A fantastic improvement over the original, I had a blast with this game and I will play it again for sure.

Mass Effect 3

4. Mass Effect 3

The ending was fine, whatever people say. Its a great rpg and a fine conclusion to the Shepard saga.

Assassin's Creed III

5. Assassin's Creed III

The production values on that game are fantastic and it looks so great on the PC. It is, however, a AC game that takes few risks but man, is it fun to run around in that period of history.

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria

6. World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria

Yes, a WoW expansion. I gotta admit i'm as surprised as you are but it is quality content added to an 8 year old mmo. It is very inspired, funny, and just fun.

Diablo III

7. Diablo III

Diablo 3 was a bit of a disappointment for me but I finished that game and I had fun playing it. It does not have the replayability of it's predecessor though.

Torchlight II

8. Torchlight II

Fantastic loot-driven game. A bit weak with the story but everything else is so great and with such a low price, how can you resist? A must for any pc owner out there.

Borderlands 2

9. Borderlands 2

More Borderlands, better writing, tighter gameplay and lots of content. What's not to love?

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

10. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

This game's got heart and deserved a better fate. It still should be played and enjoyed for what it is : A cool Fable-ish rpg.
