2. Portal 2 (PC)
Even though it's more immersive and funnier than the original, the return of GlaDOS alone should be enough to convince you to play Portal 2.

8. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Ubisoft's third stab at the assassination genre is just as sleek and razor-sharp as ever. The addition of a multiplayer mode is also bloody good fun. Simply put, Ubisoft Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is killer!

10. Dance Central
Dance Central asks a lot of you as a player. Not only do you have to get up off your couch, somehow create six to eight feet of space in your living room for Kinect to register your coordinated flailing ...
