Gravity Rush

1. Gravity Rush

PSV - Charming, has a great base mechanic, some great visual style and art direction. Level design isn't always the best. It's fun and well made overall. 4/5.

DmC Devil May Cry

2. DmC Devil May Cry

PC - A decent character action game. It doesn't break the mold nor does it reinvent DmC in a bold new direction. Combat is pretty good but no-where near as fun or deep as previous entries. Characters are mostly boring and wasted and the story is fairly sub-par. Level design lacks variety when you're going from combat>platforming>combat>platforming>boss constantly. Especially since the platforming is so simple. It's not a bad game but nothing to write home over. It's OK. 3/5

Antichamber

3. Antichamber

PC - One of the more enjoyable puzzle games I've played since Portal. Exploring the chamber is rewarding and it hits the pleasure centers of your brain when you're unlocking room after you've discovered a solution. Occasionally some of the mechanics aren't as well explained as I would have like which is unfortunate. That said, Antichamber is still a great puzzle game. 4/5

Proteus

4. Proteus

PC ... i guess? This a game? I dunno. It has a beginning and an end. It's weird.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

5. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

PS3/PSV - Really enjoyable old-school PS2 style platform game with a great style, fun gameplay, tons of varied and great looking levels. 4/5

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

6. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

PS3 - a really good character action game. Combat is fast and fun and can be approached in a casual but also hardcore way. Parrying is especially fun. 4/5

Tomb Raider

7. Tomb Raider

PC - A successful Uncharted style action-shooter that manages to throw a few twists in without falling on it's face. Pacing is particularly good here as it moves between combat>platforming>puzzle. Really enjoyed it. 4/5

Mass Effect 3

8. Mass Effect 3

CITADEL DLC - PC - ONE OF THE BEST PIECES OF MASS EFFECT CONTENT TO DATE. FANTASTIC. 5/5

Dead Space 3

9. Dead Space 3

PC - Really good in some spots, misguided in others. Dead Space 3 manages to retain just enough of what makes the series worth playing while also throwing in a few new ideas. However the further the series drifts into "action-shooter" territory, the worst it becomes. 3/5

BioShock Infinite

10. BioShock Infinite

PC - a fantastic shooter with fantastic characters and a fantastically told story. Bioshock Infinite is ... really really damned good. 4/5
