7. Monster Hunter Tri / Ultimate. Tri is silly and has the most reviled mechanic in the franchise, and i adore everything about it. Tri has an immense amount of charm, the best new monsters (Barioth! Barroth! Deviljho!) and music in the series (Loc Lac City!!) and the bosses are peak. <3 Tri.

8. The Beginner's Guide. While Davey Wreden's other work gets more recognition, Stanley Parable hit me nowhere near as hard, nor as close to home, as The Beginner's Guide did. It is, in my opinion, one of the best "games for other game devs." I can't say anything more without spoiling it.
