More hints.
#3 “Since man first walked upright, he has looked to the stars and wondered, ‘Are we alone in this cold corner of space? If something is out there, would it be friend…or foe?’ What would this Earth man think if he could see a desperate space ship, fleeing at a speed faster than imagination? What would he think if he saw the impact of powerfully potent neutronic missiles upon its fragile frame? What would he make of the strange pod that ejected from the ruined remains, just in time to avoid its mysterious inhabitant’s destruction? And would he gape in wonder at the dozen or so strange canisters that burst from its hold and fell towards the atmosphere of our guileless globe? What emotion would pass through his mind as he observed these selfsame containers as they passed through our atmosphere and fell upon the surface of an unsuspecting metropolis? So many questions and so few answers…until now dear viewers…until now….”
Hint 2: This is a real time tactical RPG.
Hint 3: This PC game pays homage to silver age comic books, especially those created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
Hint 4: The developer of this game is actually more well known for a game about an underwater city dedicated to Objectivist philosophy.
Hint 5: In this game you control up to 4 super heroes on each mission, and you can usually pick which 4 you want to take from a much larger roster. The super heroes were created by the game developers and do not come from the comic books.
Hint 6: In this PC game you control a Force of super heroes, fighting to protect the Freedoms of the people of Earth from Lord Dominion and his forces.
Hint 7: Director Ken Levine said that one big reason he made this game was that no one had made a good super hero game yet. Of course City of Heroes and Spiderman 2 would both be released 2 years later.

Well, cheating and using Internet I say Freedom Force. Feel free to ignore this guess if anyone else can guess it without cheating.

That is correct!

#4
Dark Souls
Previous Year: #4
 
It took me a fairly long time to actually truly grasp what made Dark Souls great when I first tried to play it. In fact, I stopped playing the game after a while because I simply couldn't get into it no matter how hard I tried. Then, maybe about two years later I decided to give it one more chance, as I wanted to understand why so many people absolutely loved the game, and then something happened. The game clicked and opened up to me. Things I hadn't grasped during my first attempt suddenly made sense, and the difficulties with the gameplay were no longer insurmountable as they had been before.
Within a game I had dismissed just a few years earlier I now found one of the most interesting and intricate worlds and stories I had ever experienced. The gameplay had a depth to it I had completely missed before, and the challenge no longer felt unfair once I realized that everything in the game happened for a reason. Dark Souls is to me quite possibly the most important game I've played in the last 10 years, and the best game in the second best game series of all time.
Hint for #3:
The best space-combat simulator ever made. Takes place 32 years after the first game, and depicts the return of an alien race that almost drove humans and their allies to extinction all those years ago.

Is this X-Com: Enemy Unknown?
P.S. Dark Souls is awesome! It made #12 on my list.
