59. Grey Goo (2015)
Is it bad if I want my next phone to be made out of Goo?
Developer: Petroglyph
Genre: RTS
Theme: Humans vs Aliens vs Other Aliens
Grey Goo centers three factions: the Humans, the Beta, and the Goo. The humans received a signal in space from their past creation, the Grey Goo. The humans learn of their past folly as a race of ancient protectors, the Beta, enter the fray.
Players must manage their faction skillfully to conquer enemy armies. Simply start by gathering resources, then decide what those resources must go towards in order to overrun your enemy's base.
Grey Goo vs... Is that a mecha?!
This is a great new RTS to add to anyone's collection. There are three playable races with their own distinct set of units and tactics. The player needs to manage their resources skillfully in order to get the best out of their faction.
58. Age of Wonders 3: Eternal Lords (2014)
There's a lot to do and see!
Developer: Triumph Studios
Genre: Strategy, RPG
Theme: Unite the World
Age of Wonders 3 is technically the fourth game in the series, coming after Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic. You take on the role as a leader in the military. It's then your job to explore the world and unify the vibrant races that inhabit it!
How they haven't melted is a miracle.
Take on a class role that dictates the mechanics of the civilization you will lead in this strategic RPG. You can level up as leader and recruit other hero-type characters to aid you in your objectives. Your actions also have an impact on your character's moral alignment, so there is more than just one way to play.
57. WWE 2K15 (2015)
Chair! Hit 'em with the chair!
Developer:Yuke's Co., Visual Concepts
Genre: Sports / Fighting
Theme: Pro wrestlers fight each other.
This is the latest installment of the WWE 2K series. Pick your favorite WWE fighters and duke it out in the dream-match you've always wanted to see. Use a variety of moves at your fighter's disposal to put your opponent in a lock, keeping them down, or knock them out to make yourself victorious.
There's also a career mode, so players have a chance to win their way to the top.
WWE 2K15 employs a new system that sets it apart from the rest of the series. In an effort to achieve a more realistic WWE experience, several mechanics have been added, including a rock-paper-scissors style joint-locking system that allows players to attack while defending themselves. The game succeeds in being both challenging and a strong new standard for the series.
56. Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012)
There can be only one!
Developer:Criterion Games
Genre: Racing
Theme: Finish First
Need For Speed: Most Wanted is probably something that sounds familiar to you, with the big hullabaloo about it being a while back. This isn't the same game, but it still gives you one hell of a ride.
There's a list of the Most Wanted, which you can beat and get a copy of the car for while becoming the Most Wanted yourself. Surge ahead of your opponents and cross the finish line to be victorious.
No, YOU pull over!
Need For Speed: Most Wanted lets players tear around Fairhaven City, an average city with a serious street racing problem. Ambush Races are super cool because they start you, the player, surrounded by police, and force you to bust through and evade them. If you like racing games in general, this should do well in your hands.
55. Resident Evil: HD Remaster (2015)
The freaks come out at night.
Developer: Capcom
Genre: Survival Horror
Theme: Zombies vs humans
Go back to you roots with Resident Evil: HD Remaster. It takes place in 1998, with a special forces unit sent to check out some crazy mess going down in Raccoon City. Next thing they know, they're struggling to stay alive as undead everything tries to turn them into dinner.
The remake on the right contrasted with with original on the left.
This is one of the most loved games of all time, which is why it's a fantastic idea to get your hands on it if you never had the opportunity to play it before. With new graphical effects, sound, and new controls, the horror of being trapped in Raccoon City is bolstered. The game also retains the original challenge, meaning you'll still have a chance to earn those bragging rights.
54. Dark Souls 2 (2014)
Cursed is an understatement. That character has to die over and over again constantly.
Developer: From Software
Genre: Action Adventure, RPG
Theme: Medieval humans vs zombies vs demons.
Back again to test your patience and resolve, it's Dark Souls, this time with a large 2 at the end. In this new entry in the series, you play as a character referred to as the “Bearer of the Curse.” As you seek a cure, you battle immense and deadly bosses among hordes of monstrous undead, all the while struggling to collect enough souls to heal yourself.
My bet's 40. He dies 40 times.
If you want a game to really put you to the test, this would be the game to play. Try not to die (you will anyway) while playing through a story that shows you an immense yet strange world of death and foreboding beauty. You'll come across secrets as well as other players, so you won't be totally alone on your journey.
53. Dead Space (2008)
In space, no one can hear y-OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!
Developer: Visceral Games
Genre: Survival Horror / 3rd person Shooter
Theme: Survive the alien flesh horrors
Dead Space has been out for a while now, but it's still around because it's simply great. Take a game that drives you insane with paranoia, and put it in space.
You play as Isaac, an engineer whose ship is responding to a distress signal. Aboard the distressed vessel, everyone notices signs of struggle and the ship in complete disrepair. It's up to Isaac to survive the onslaught of alien horrors and get the hell off that ship.
Try Ctr+Alt+Del.
If you shoot and kill an enemy, make absolutely sure you've curb-stomped it a few times. If you don't, it will stand back up as soon as you turn your back and maim you. Seriously though, it's a great game to play in the dark.
In addition to enemies making you paranoid, you've got some cool weapons to experiment with and upgrade along with a creepy dead space colony infested with creepy zombie aliens to see. It's worth every penny.
52. Grid 2 (2013)
Yeah, but can they pull a big ass safe down the highway?
Developer: Codemasters Southam
Genre: Racing
Theme: Finish first
Blow the other racers out of the water (or maybe off the street instead) as you barrel forward in your favorite picture-perfect car! Enter yourself in a number of game modes that offer different experiences with each race!
How do they stay so shiny in all that dirt?
Grid 2 features several game modes, including LiveRoutes mode. In this game mode, the track can change at any moment, which can change the flow of the race at the drop of a hat. You can also pick from Drift, Touge, Checkpoint, Vehicle Challenges, Time Attack, Eliminator, and of course, Race.
51. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 (2009)
Developer: Relic Entertainment
Genre: RTS
Theme: Aliens vs humans vs aliens
Play as the Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, and Tyranids in this RTS based on the popular Warhamer 40k universe. Carefully choose which units to take into battle and strike with intelligence with Dawn of War 2's unique new approach to RTS tactical gameplay.
Some assembly required.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 attempts something new with this iteration of the series by excluding base building from the gameplay mechanics. Instead of building a massive army and marching on the enemy base, you choose which units you will need at the beginning of the mission, make them, and after that you go through the mission with what you have, unable to make reinforcements. This provides a challenge not normally found in RTS games, and is a bold move by the developers.
50. Mass Effect 3 (2012)
Is there a class that can eat dragon souls, though?
Developer: BioWare
Genre: Action Adventure, RPG, 3rd Person Shooter
Theme: Preserve life in the Universe
Mass Effect 3 places users in the hard, ass-kicking boots of Commander Shepherd for the third and final time. It's your job to defeat the greatest threat to life in the universe and stomp anyone who gets in the way. Players use a deadly arsenal of crazy sci-fi weapons against evil aliens and machines, while also making game-altering decisions along the way.
The bigger they are, the easier it is to hit them.
This is the final installment of Commander Shepherd's story (that we know of) and as such takes the player to battles with universe-sized stakes. There's also a multiplayer co-op mode that allows friends to join in on the story and have a hand in shaping it.
49. NBA 2k15 (2014)
It's like TV!
Developer: Visual Concepts
Genre: Sports
Theme: Basketball
NBA 2k15 puts players in charge of the championship basketball team of their dreams, and even makes them the star player. Take control of your favorite players and make your name in history as you go for the champioship.
Plan out your plays carefully!
Players can now scan their face and put it onto an in-game body, allowing them to see themselves in the game playing alongside the pros. The career mode has new mentor and upgrading systems as well. There's also a coaching system that offers players advice depending on how well they do on the court.
48. DayZ (2013)
Episode One: How to not die!
Developer: Bohemia Interactive
Genre: FPS, Survival
Theme: Survive the Zombie Apocalypse
The Zombie Apocalypse scenario saw lots of attention in the tween-thousands, and Day Z reflects the creativity that arose from so many different takes on the idea. It's an open-world survival game where players build weapons, vehicles, shelter, and take out zombie threats as well as humans.
Woah, someone's eating like a king tonight!
DayZ is a great realistic take on the idea of zombies overrunning the world. It allows an amount of freedom not presented in any other zombie game on the market (as of writing this, anyway). The addition of craftable vehicles is something players have wanted for a long time, and this game delivers.
