1. The Last of Us - With the high standards we have for games nowadays, seeing a game this amazing and complete is a rare sight. Believable protagonists building a relationship, facing unfavorable odds and being part of debatable moral choices. Not your average "rescue the princess" story. It might not be perfect, but it is truly the best at portraying a story and make us care about those who star in it. The best game of the seventh generation, bar none.

2. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - While it's not a rare sight for a sequel to outperform a first game, this one did it better than any other franchise. Pair a fun and freeflowing gameplay, a plethora of likeable characters, gorgeous graphics even by today's standards, a strong story with an incredibly well done dialogue, a jaw-dropping soundtrack and a couple of memorable moments, and you get an instant classic. The entire game is damn good, but it's the train scene that's shines from the rest.

3. Red Dead Redemption - Rockstar wasn't well known to do western shooters before this game, but now it is. This open world western has something a Grand Theft Auto couldn't make properly, and that is a incredible story with an amazing ending.

4. Batman: Arkham City - After lots of years withstanding decent and bad superhero games, Rocksteady came with Batman: Arkham Asylum and proved that these games based on heroes weren't doomed to fail. But it was Arkham City that proved that this superhero sub-genre could be done much better. With so many things to do and perfectly done boss fights, and not to mention a memorable ending that shook an important part of what made Batman.

5. Mass Effect 2 - Before I get pitchforked, bear with me. I didn't like the endings and the shoddy work they did with them, but I have to back this one due to its improved gameplay, its story, and, in a greater part, the multiplayer, where I spent more than 300 hours killing baddies, including headshotting Cerberus with a Widow, after my Salarian Infiltrator knocks down their shield with Energy Drain, or breezing thru Gold and Platinum difficulties spamming Snap Freeze and Energy Drain with my N7 Paladin, and having fun with my acrobatic N7 Slayer while shooting enemies with my potent Phase Disruptor. It's a very divisive game, but I fell in love with it.
