1.COUNTER STRIKE : GLOBAL OFFENSIVE

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a huge leap for top-selling FPS series Counter-Strike. Along with upgraded graphics and gameplay styles, new guns are introduced (like a brand new arsenal of shotguns), new gear like incendiary grenades, and a new buy-zone interface have been introduced in the latest installment of the series. Even the cross-hairs are more fine-tuned to display how tight point-and-shoot accuracy is while running, crouching, or walking.

How hardcore Counter-Strike players will receive the new title is in the air—CS:GO is a whole new ballgame, and it’s a very different game in comparison to CS 1.6, and even CS: Source.

3.HITMAN : ABSOLUTION 

Hitman absolution is surely one game that's gona create waves in all hearts and is likely one of my favourite games.

4. MAX PAYNE 3 :

He’s a broken man. He drinks the pain away, passes out, and does it all over again. He’s just killing time until someone takes his life. However, throughout the course of the third Max Payne game we see him transition from having no reason to live to having every reason to live. His transition from anti-hero to asshole and back again is portrayed so inelegantly that it's actually more authentic and believable, humanizing Max and rendering him a flawed but relatable man.

Max Payne 3 opens in Brazil, but the story really begins in Hoboken, New Jersey. Max spends his time in a Jersey bar, doing the same thiIt has been nine years since the release of Max Payne 2, and Max has undergone significant changes in that time. ng he does day in and day out, until an old friend appears claiming to know Max from their days at the Police Academy. Max doesn’t remember Raul Passos, but then again, he drinks so much that he’s never sure exactly what he remembers. Passos offers Max a job working private security down in São Paulo, Brazil, but Max isn’t interested. He doesn’t care about anything, let alone another job. During this conversation, the son of the local mob boss, Anthony DeMarco, storms into the bar harassing Max and everyone in sight. Passos tells him to get lost, but DeMarco Jr. doesn’t appreciate that much and returns with weapons to confront the two. When DeMarco Jr. hits a random woman with his pistol, Max shoots him straight in the chest, taking things to a whole new level of intensity. Events in Max's life escalate at an exponentially violent level and Max, finding himself in desperate need of a place to lie low, finally agrees to take Passos up on his offer.

Max Payne 3 isn’t for everyone. It’s a tad long, excruciatingly difficult at times, and very mature, which is what makes it so great. It doesn’t try to be for everyone, and the game is better for it. Max is a messed-up guy, but you can relate to him and that helps ease the pain of vicariously living such a tragic life. Everything flows together exceptionally well and (despite it's flawed difficulty) makes Max Payne 3 one of the best action shooters to date

5.MASS EFFECT 3 :

There is a lot to say about this game and his my most favourite one but i keep it in 5th place :) 

As the culmination of BioWare’s epic sci-fi RPG trilogy, Mass Effect 3 hasn’t garnered this groundswell in an artificial way. 

Rather, anticipation steadily sits at a fever pitch because the previous installments—Mass Effect, and especially Mass Effect 2—rate amongst the best games ever made. And in many ways, Mass Effect 3 has set the bar even higher as the worthy conclusion to one of the finest stories ever told in gaming history, even if it’s still admittedly imperfect.

Mass Effect 3 throws you back into the role of Commander Shepard, the first human Spectre that has, at this point in the story, gone above and beyond proving his (or her) commitment to galactic order. After reluctantly working for the xenophobic human-first organization Cerberus and jumping through the Omega-4 Mass Relay to fight the Collectors at the center of the Milky Way in Mass Effect 2, Shepard’s greatest challenge still lies ahead.
