The best of the series, described as Skyrim with guns, one of the peaks of the openworld gaming experiences. Beautifully rendered, awesome to play.

Black flag isn't just an Assassin's creed game, its a pirate life sim. It is the high watermark of the franchise and the best naval combat game ever!

Civilization goes back to the dawn of PC gaming, and the fifth version of the game is by far the best. A never ending gaming saga, and a perfect game.

Reboots rarely capture the spirit of the orginal, but this one surpassed the orginal in every way. Perfect turn base squad strategy. A must have!

Portal 2's gameplay is what sets is apart from any other game, it is uttlery unique and completely perfect, every gamer should own a copy.

Borderlands 2 is one of the high watermarks in gaming. It is a perfect blend of FPS and Action RPG. An all time classic.

Adventure gaming done to perfection, this is not so much a videogame as a interactive graphic novel. It is pitch perfect and is a significant milestone.

Left 4 Dead 2 - this is the co-op fourplayer game done to perfection. It is on the edge of the seat stuff and never plays the same twice. Remarkable.
