XCOM: Enemy Unknown

1. XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Ironman (YOLO MAAAAAN! ......) mode made this game for me. The discovery of new technology as you progress, the risks of experimenting with marine load-outs on missions. Losing Yeti. The INTENSE excitement I had when I surrounded aliens with my squad and watched shots fire, in the cases where they would miss their shot I'd gesture to my monitor and say something under my breath. This is a GAME-ASS-GAME, though it does have annoying faults; combat bugs (which on ironman, suck balls) and odd mouse/keyboard play.

The Walking Dead

2. The Walking Dead

MAN THIS GAME MADE ME FEEL AWFUL.... but, I enjoyed it.

Mark of the Ninja

3. Mark of the Ninja

YO I LIKE STABBING DUDES. Removes tedious trial and error found in the stealth genre. Can't fault a single bit of how it plays. I also think I'd be a pretty awesome bald ninja with tattoos.

Spelunky

4. Spelunky

Much like Mark of the Ninja, plays super well. Also has a GREAT SOUNDTRACK WOOOOOO!

Journey

5. Journey

Colourful and abstract, done well enough that it felt like a game for once (YE FLOWER?).

Pokémon Black/White Version 2

6. Pokémon Black/White Version 2

YO I LIKE POKEMON A LOT AND WHILST THIS CERTAINLY AIN'T THE BEST DS POKEMON, IT'S STILL GOOD!

Far Cry 3

7. Far Cry 3

Open world is great, so many dumb things happen. About 20% of the story is enjoyable, the rest is just straight-up bad. BUT YEAH, gameplay is too fun.

Diablo III

8. Diablo III

Blizzard played it safe (which makes it an awesome game), but in the process lost out on so many PVP opportunities.

ZombiU

9. ZombiU

Great tension, online functionality, survival mechanics and environments. Pretty bad combat, although clunky is what it needs obtain its survival feel - more melee options would have helped.

Halo 4

10. Halo 4

Like Diablo 3, more Halo. Campaign is OK. Multiplayer is awesome, yet playing it safe. Missing out on community driven playlists, forge browser etc. Playlist is also too basic.
