Really seems odd that Halo 4 is missing.

I voted for Journey. It's the only one that I've played and it was glorious. Bit on the short side though, but it's the same thing I'd attribute to Portal 2 - perfect for what it was.

I'm sad to say I haven't gotten to any on the list -- still working through my backlog -- but I'm surprised at the nominees.

Some snubbed games, at least according to critical consensus:

Mass Effect 3
Trials Evolution
Borderlands 2
Halo 4
Max Payne 3
Xenoblade Chronicles (is that eligible?)
Kid Icarus Uprising

No Halo 4?

From the list Mass Effect 3 beats out AC: III.

Sorry Connor.

Walking Dead.

Far Cry 3

journey all day.

Journey or Dishonored. But the list is indeed weak.

Journey :)

Journey of course if you are a real gamer.
