Left 4 Dead 2

Developer: Valve Software

From our Left 4 Dead 2 review:
'Not only does Left 4 Dead 2 provide a chance to test your skills against a whole host of new enemies and using a slew of new equipments, it also lets you play with the new modes and maps created by Valve – and the worst levels created by Valve are still twice as good as the best created by amateur map-makers.'

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Developer:Bethesda

From our The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimreview:

'It’s like watching Star Wars and genuinely thinking, ‘what about those poor Death Star construction workers?’ You’re missing the point: Skyrim is a huge and engaging world to explore and it treats you with great moments, from your first dragon encounter to finally being able to craft dwarven armour.'
