#5 World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria

Tried and true, and—depending on who you ask—perhaps even beaten to death by this point, World of Warcraft is to have its experience extended even further with the addition of a new expansion pack titled Mists of Pandaria. 

Not only does the expansion pack raise the current level limit and add new bosses, it also adds an all new continent—that of the title's namesake—with an all new race of Pandaren. Players can roll a new character, beginning from level 1, and experience the new Monk class. 

Fans of the Warcraft series will argue that Mists of Pandaria betrays the game's more serious origins, and the hardcore raiders of WOW itself may dislike Blizzard's change in philosophy towards the 'casual', but most WoW players will undoubtedly be pleased by what the expansion has to offer—assuming they haven't quit the game already.
