Yep

Even new games?

avast! Hardened Mode brings an option for inexperienced users to further lock down the security of the computer in the avast! 2014 settings. If enabled, users can select between "Aggressive" mode which doesn't allow any non-whitelisted files in avast! file reputation database (e.g. unknown files) to run, and "Moderate" mode which allows any other files except those with low reputation in avast! file reputation database (e.g. low prevalence files) to run.
As Manzai wanna it to test the antivirus, if enable the Hardened mode would just have stood in it's way.

Next time test only anti Ransom modules (hips, hids, etc) only, without definitions.

And anti Crypto on Cryptowall.

Because the most important function vs this infections it's not detection it's the mitigation of the effects on system, files, etc.
