10. Dead Space 2
Drenched in creature blood, drowning in baby-mutant entrails, with endlessly recyclable undead limbs piling up in every Fincher-esque corridor, Dead Space 2 would have been enjoyable if it were just the squirmiest gorefest of the year. But Visceral Games pushed their space-zombie franchise into thrillingly bleak psychological territory. As performed by standout voice-over actor Gunner Wright, protagonist Isaac Clarke is an endearingly non-badass Everyguy whose sanity is under attack from all sides: Visions of his dead lover; galactic conspiracies who want his beautiful brain; the occasional retina-obsessed schizophrenic; and don't forget those zombies! Who knew Space Madness could be so fun? —Darren Franich
