In order, based on my preference. I mostly enjoy a good first-person shooter (preferably that involves realism) and a great action-adventure game. I am saddened that there is still no news on the next Uncharted game, but 2013 is by far the most intriguing year perhaps in gaming history. Plus they're announcing PS4 & 720 on E3 in Spring, so get excited gamers. Anyways don't be upset that I won't be listing games like Generals, Crysis 3 or any role-playing games. I just naming 15 games that I feel will blow our minds and that fit my interest as a gamer.
These games are in order...
15. Agent
http://www.rockstargames.com/agent/images/agent.jpg
Company: Rockstar
Release Date: Possibly 2013 (Q4)
Agent is an espionage action game exclusive for the PlayStation 3. It takes place during the height of the Cold War at the end of the 1970s, taking players on a paranoid journey around the world of political assassination, espionage, and counter-intelligence. Currently, there is no other detailed information about the game.

This game sounds too promising not to make the list and it's Rockstar people! Hopeful for a late 2013 release...
14. Remember Me

Company: THQ
Release Date: March, 2013
It is the year 2034. Beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly threats from outside – and within.
Mutants stalk the catacombs beneath the desolate surface, and hunt amidst the poisoned skies above. But rather than stand united, the station-cities of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever. As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the key to our survival – the last light in our darkest hour...

10. BioShock Infinite
http://static.metacritic.com/images/products/games/7/eb5eafc5cc6294cc4ec22b570ed6c3d6-98.jpg
Company: Irrational Games
Release Date: February 26, 2013
Welcome to the city of Columbia. Floating amongst the clouds, cruising far above sea level, this is a place unlike any you've ever seen. Please enjoy your voyage...
The third game in the popular Bioshock series, BioShock Infinite breaks away from the underwater setting of the first two games to take players into a floating city held aloft by dirigibles. The game is set in 1912. You play as Booker DeWitt, a disgraced former private detective who's picked up a new case. Your goal is to find Elizabeth, a young woman who's gone missing and return her unharmed. The only problem is that she's being kept on this flying city. Columbia was once a symbol of America's success as a nation, floating around the world as a traveling World's Fair, a marvel of human innovation. But strange things have happened since Columbia's unveiling in 1900, and now the city has disappeared into the clouds. DeWitt knows how to find it, but over the years stories have been told about Columbia having unlawful heavy armament and deranged citizenry. Do not expect this to be a pleasure cruise.
