I currently have to still start Dead Space 3 and Resident Evil 6 from a bunch I just bought so let me know some more suggestions if you have a good game you've tried out lately!

Tomb Raider
Score So Far: 10/10
Ah, where to start! I honestly kind of bought this game on a whim one day because I had heard quite a few good things about it when it was first released, and now I'm so happy I did! I really think it's in my top 10 list now of favorite games, the graphics are beyond beautiful and the gameplay is really fun and addicting, I find myself always craving to play it at any time of day. The story is intriguing as well which I always find to be a nice added bonus, and I find it a cool change to play with a female character this time around :) They added a lot of fun extra content to work towards completing too so you aren't always stuck doing just the story, like finding old relics or completing challenges throughout the game. Overall I think its an awesome game and I really enjoy all the time I put into it so far.
Pokemon X
Score So Far: 10/10
Well what kind of gamer would I be if I didn't love Pokemon just as much as the next person? I admitingly have never ever beat a single game in the Pokemon series yet because I always find myself putting it down for far too long and then completely forgetting where I left off, but this game is insanely addicting and I find all the improvements and new features made to it incredible! I absolutely love the new graphics of it including the more detailed scenery and unique towns to the final fantasy like battle scenes. Before, battling trainers and wild Pokemon always seemed like such a chore because the fight scenes were so bland with such pixel shapes and same boring playthrough, but actually seeing the moves performed by the Pokemon makes it much more enjoyable and in my opinion adds a huge charm to all of the Pokemon themselves! I find myself catching every single one I come across now and I'm hoping to not quit until I've found every single one even after I've gotten all the badges. This game just makes you want to hunt down every single one and see how cute they look in great graphics and makes being a Pokemon trainer feel much more life-like :) The game also has cool new stuff like wonder trade where you can trade any pokemon you want with another trainer in the world, never knowing what you'll recieve in return! Its so fun to do and really lets you get Pokemon that you still haven't come across in the game or didn't even know existed. Along with that, they make you bond much more closer with your Pokemon, being able to pet each of them and feed them and play mini games with them! I'm really just super happy with this games new look and definitnely will start buying all the sequels to come from this point on in the series :D
Saints Row 3
Score So Far: 8.5/10
Alright, I'll be the first to admit that I had an absolutely horrible first impression of this game and really hated it the first few years it was out. The graphics were really bad to me from what other games at the time had seemed improve to and the overall play experience seemed really bland and forgetful, but now
I honestly think this game is just as good as any GTA title, and has quite a few better attributes to it that make it a lot more fun. I love all the side mission mini games scattered throughout the map like insurance fraud and tank mayhem. They make it really refreshing to have other options then just flat out story mode missions and give a lot of opportunities to earn money and respect that GTA lacks in. While GTA has other options to do as well, they all seem half hearted and too far out of the way to even bother doing, not to mention don't seem like an overall benefit to the player. Saints Row overall has great variety from the numerous stores and cribs to buy to the cell phone options such as perks to buy for improving your character along with small challenges to complete throughout playing the game and some vehicle theft and assassination targets to hunt down in your free time. With all things considered, I think Saints Row is a lot of fun for any gamer and definitely has some great additions that GTA should learn from.

Dishonored
Score So Far: 8/10
Being a massive Bethesda fan, I think I was more thrilled than anyone for Dishonored to be released when it had first been announced and seeing how awesome the trailer looked, but as soon as I found out it was a first person game I avoided buying it for a while since I've never been all that into first persons. After finally trying it a few weeks ago, I have to say my excitement didn't quite seem satisfied. It's not a bad game and I still enjoy it for what it is, but I definitely expected much more out of the gameplay and graphics then what I've experienced so far. I'll definitely continue playing until the end and hopefully get much more into it, but for now I'll leave it as being a pretty average gaming experience, nothing to drool over but not bad enough to put down for good.
Assassin's Creed III
Score So Far: 7.5/10
Assassins Creed is another game I had really high expectations for because of the name and franchise associated with it, but also just wasn't fully impressed by. I think in my mind I expected too much out of this game since I never had played any other sequel in the series, therefore had no idea how the gameplay would be. I was surprised by the old revolutionary wartime story along with the characters chosen for the game. I don't find them all that interesting or likable, which for me is really important in a game in order to really connect with everything going on and gain a sense of closeness to the world created. In general its pretty fun to play, but the lack of focus with other areas of the game apart from the storyline really make it difficult to find much to do. Even pointless shooting or messing around in the cities is impossible to have fun with because of the fast notoriety ranking, so if you aren't fond of running around to only do missions all day then you might also find this game a bit dull. The missions themselves have been interesting and fun though, so this is another game that I'll definitely still continue and finish and hopefully get more drawn to.
Dead Space 2
Score: 10/10
This is a game I replayed again after having beat it on my old PSN account a year or so ago, and I was just as amazed by it the second time through. I definitely consider myself beyond a huge fan of the Dead Space series, and I found this sequel to be much better than the first one which is saying a lot because even the first is amazing! This series is so fun with such a likable character, Isaac Clark, along with a great storyline. As much as I loved the first game, I found this game to improve on everything I had wished after playing the first one and even then some, with way more interesting levels and much more variety in the necromorphs and enemies alike. I love all of the dark scenery in this game, including the creepy candle filled rooms and the disturbing child bedrooms with exploding babies. I found the games focus on Nicole and the insanity it caused Isaac to be a huge plus in the game for me that made me love it so much, with her moments adding that big scare factor that really set it apart from all the jump scares that Dead Space was previously known for. If you're a fan of good storylines and games that will keep you on the edge of your seat, you seriously need to check this series out! I finally finished it again for the second time a few days ago so I will be onto the third one soon, I'm hoping it doesn't disappoint :)
Hitman: Absolution
Score So Far: 8/10
This is a game I recieved free a while back from my Playstation Plus subscription that I truely didn't have much hope for, figuring it would mostly be something to play when I'm bored and not in the mood for anything else. I had never heard hardly anything about it either, nor did it sound all that entertaining to begin with but I was pretty surprised by it overall. Its not in anyway the best game ever made or anything, but I do find it to be quite fun and pretty challenging at times, which makes it much more interesting and easy to enjoy. The graphics in my opinion are pretty nice, and while there isn't anything too interesting that stands out in the game, it is something different than the norm to play, with the player constantly having to hide their identity and sneak around everywhere they go.
