#1 Arkham City - rock-solid game with some of the generation's finest moments. Everybody should play this.
#2 Crysis 3 - as impressive as the original. Features some unique and highly atmospheric levels. You're kinda overpowered and the story is bullsh*t but it's one of the best shooters on the market.
#3 Deus Ex: HR - way too long and with very contrieved level design but the stealth and action are satisfying and it looks pretty good.
The rest would be:
BioShock Infinite - a poor shooter, very dumbed down compared to BioShock 2. A half-assed story. Elizabeth is rubbish. The non-combat sections and one very solid area towards the end are astonishing and well worth the price.
The Witcher 2 - excellent story sabotaged by a putrid imitation of Demon's Souls combat. On the visual side, it has nice fat textures but literally everything else is trash. There's way too much bloom, the engine doesn't seem to render anything more than five meters in front of you and the animations are stuck in 2002. While I appreciate pretty colours, I liked the first game's gritty styIe more.
Tomb Raider is just horrible but it looks pretty good.
