Exceeds any expectations I had with the Mass Effect series. The gameplay is solid and the characters are a step above and beyond anything I could have hoped for.

My relationship with Starcraft II is a strange one. I have played my fair share of the game be it custom maps, multiplayer or singleplayer, but that's not where I spend the most time with it. Where I see it the most is on the well known site of YouTube, watching games like my dad watches hockey. StarCraft II has really pushed the e-Sports aspects of games forward like no other game has, and that alone gets it on this list.
