#7 Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is (almost) everything we've wanted to see in a sequel to the RPG/FPS classic Deus Ex. The boss fights might be a real bog, but that doesn't stop the rest of the game from delivering on every single count.
The world of 2027 and the politics that define this particular dystopian cyberpunk future are every bit as immersive as anything you'd find in Ghost in the Shell or Pattern Recognition—and the characters who live in it (save for a certain homeless trash vendor) have believable stories and lead seemingly real lives, affected by the environment around them.
Unlike the first Deus Ex, the protagonist is a joy to control and combat is as fluid as any competent dedicated first person shooter.
