Starting this list now to update until the end of the year with games as I play them.

I never played the original, but I got deep into this game. I have some hangups about the particulars of the faux "dice-rolling," but overall it was still an awesome experience.
A beautiful game to witness as you play, and an experience altogether more unique than any I've had in video games.
Fast. Brutal. Fucking awesome.
I love the depth of strategic creativity the player can employ when tackling the different level layouts.
This game made some meaningful and extremely fun changes to your standard first person shooter combat.
Prepare To Die Edition. The DLC content added was worthy of the franchise, and it runs much smoother on the PC. (And with the help of a fix or two, looks much nicer also)
More of the same for the most part, but I loved Borderlands. Graphically better, I enjoyed the differences in weapons, but I hated most of the characters.
I'm not a huge fan of stealth games. I usually prefer an all out, guns blazing style of play. This game made it fun to attempt no-alarms, no-kills playthroughs.
I like difficult games. This one does it for me.
Never made it to the full level cap, the grind stopped being fun. I had a great time while it lasted though.
Super unique, and I enjoyed being part of the internet code cracking brigade during the first couple weeks of this games release.
Loved Trials HD. More of that was awesome.
Among my favorite turn based strategy combat systems. Story is bonkers.
Praises abound for it's use of character and emotional development. However, this is hardly even a game as much as it is a digital choose your own adventure book.
I love the idea behind this game, but MAN did it get super repetitive relatively quickly. I really wish there were more ramps in difficulty, and maybe some rules put in place so I was forced think more creatively.
