25. Gears of War 3 -- DUDE-BROS! THIS GAME ROCKS! ...It just wasn't enough for me to keep my 360 at the present moment... It was pretty. It was well-written. The shooting was sound, but...

24. Shadows of the Damned -- Loved the Machismo of Garcia. Graphics were creative enough. Writing was witty and fun. Shooting was sound too, but ultimately the repetition turned me off.

23. inFAMOUS 2 -- More of the same turned out to be less interesting once you got used to the inFAMOUS formula. Good enough for me to finish, but not great enough to care about.

22. Deus Ex: Human Revolution -- This game gives you 1001 ways to crawl thru Air Ducts and lame Boss Battles. Was super intrigued by it at first, but lost interest pretty quickly.

21. Pushmo -- REALLY? Up here with the likes of Deus Ex?! Yeah. Sometimes the simplest of concepts and the most minor of graphical effects can STILL add up to an elegant and FUN game!

20. Bulletstorm -- 'Cuz it was FUN, Dicktits!

19. portal 2 -- I am ashamed of myself that I dont think more of this game. I LOVED the brilliant writing, but had absolutely NO PATIENCE for the puzzles!

18. 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors -- The most painstakingly detailed written game of all time! Logic Puzzles and an intriguing, mature plot add up to one of the DS' best, lost treasures since Hotel Dusk!

17. Ghost Trick -- Forget Sissel! This game's real star is Missile the Pomeranian! ...but seriously, the creators of Phoenix Wright + the silkiest, smoothest animation you'll ever see = a MUST PLAY game!

16. Outland -- UbiSoft certainly had it's share of hits this year! Spot on, perfect controls + Bullet Hell gameplay + Metroidian sensibility meets Ikaruga color manipulation = Excellent!

15. Torchlight -- Ah. The LOOT GAME. It's almost a lost art form these days. With no sign of Diablo 3 and War in the North SUCKING BALLS, this game was the premiere choice for LOOTINESS this year!

14. Rayman Origins -- Love the Wackiness/Animation of this game! Think "New Super Mario Bros. Wii meets Sonic the Hedgehog." Would have been higher on this list had I the chance to play it more!

13. Dark Souls -- I just don't have the stamina for From games that I used to. Truly among the year's BEST, but I find I can only play so much of it. Same thing happened with Demon's Souls.

12. Mario Kart 7 -- Love the colors, the competition and the Cheeriness of this perennial favorite, but I REALLY need to find the TIME to play it more!

11. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception -- Not in my top 10 'cuz I only played the childhood sequence so far. This type of gameplay always has a place in my heart, but there's only so much room on my list!
