Title: Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm (March 2013)
Developer: Blizzard
Genre: RTS
Why i like this game: One of two remaining competitive Real Time Strategy games in existence (the other is SC:BW) and has unending depth and variation while being accessible to newcomers. You can be in top 20% of players with less than 1 key press per second input rate; the same cannot be said for any FPS you might have played. I play it, watch livestreams of players practicing, and watch tournaments with tens of thousands of dollars in prizes, huge crowds and professional commentating.
Traditional Blizzard extreme levels of polish. Runs on almost all hardware.
If you've ever been interested in playing a strategy game, try this (and LoL/Dota) and do not be worried about percieved difficulty.
Price: $70 with Wings of Liberty, the required base game. HOWEVER "Starter Edition" that allows unlimited custom games as one of the three races can be downloaded for free, so you can try it out.
Where to buy: Amazon
