#44 XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Well, this was a surprise. I picked up this game during the Steam Summer Sale for $10, then proceeded to play the shit out of it for the following couple weeks. Enemy Unknown is an intelligently designed (albiet somewhat imbalanced) strategy game with pits the player against a mounting alien threat. It manages to make most player decisions rather complicated and stressful, and imbues a strong horror atmosphere into every turn-based battle. It's an entirely engrossing strategy game.
