It's fair to say that 2014 has been a very mixed bag in terms of videogame releases. We've seen plenty of big name releases arrive, as well as some totally new IPs. Some big titles have arrived only to disappoint, whilst previously unknown games have emerged to impress. We've also seen an increase in the trend of buggy release heading to store shelves, with patches and downtime being required to make some releases playable.
Yes, 2014 has been interesting, to say the least, and let's not even get into the whole Gamergate débâcle and recent issues like GTA V being taken off store shelves in Australia. What we want to focus on is the great, and the good. We want to celebrate those releases that have deserved our time, our money, and our praise.
