Sleeping Dogs (2012)

Went into this knowing very little. Just that it was an open world game set in Hong Kong. Turned out to be a fantastic game. Good story, solid combat and it's just fun to wander around the island. Definitely look forward to any sequels in the franchise.

Spec Ops: The Line (2012)

Like Sleeping Dogs I didn't know much about it before diving in. Just that it has a reputation for not glorifying war and making you question yourself. There's not much I can say about it other than that I do recommend it.
