My Top 10 Games Of 2014
These are my top 10 games of 2014. A disappointing year for video games, a lot of overhyped releases and buggy mess saw the light this year. But...there were great games. and here are ten of them.
Some games have gotten praise this year, that i haven't played. Bayonetta, Mario Kart 8, Sunset Overdrive. I don't own an Xbox or a Wii U. So i dont consider them worse than any of these games, I just haven't played them.
PS:
Top 10 Movies list is coming Next week when I've watched: The Interview, Hobbit Battle of the five armies, Selma and Whiplash. They are such big Movies that i wouldn't want to make that list and then regret not putting them in afterwards, if they are good of course.

- DirectorYui TanimuraStarsAmy NolanAndrew TiernanAndy BeckwithA cursed warrior travels to Drangleic, the forgotten land of a once-great king, hoping to find a cure before going insane.Yes my favorite game of 2014 was Dark Souls II. I loved the first one, and hoped With fingers crossed that this would be equally good or even better. Tough to answer, but by god this game is fantastic. Dark Souls II is like its predecessor a game about gameplay.
How do you defeat the monsters, how do you defeat the boss? By practice and by knowing Your *beep* If you fail in this game its Your fault. No one elses. Complicated, tactical and With a breath taking atmosphere. Dark Souls II is my favorite game of 2014 - DirectorSean VelascoA heroic knight with a shovel takes on the many forces of the wicked Enchantress to save the world.I love platformers, and always have. My first one was donkey kong country for the SNES. So naturally I've been consuming the New indie platformers that have come out the last couple of years. Shovel Knight is the best one yet. Some might say its wrong to give a game With 8 bit Graphics the 2nd Place in a top 10 games list in 2014. I completely disagree. A game is to be played, not to be stared at. Shovel Knight is a platformer With terrific gameplay. I was mesmerized by the easy to get into but still difficult gameplay i was presented With. And the story is also charming and exciting. Theres no better adventure/platformer released in 2014.
- DirectorMasahiro SakuraiStarsShintarô AsanumaHisao EgawaAlesia GlidewellThe handheld version of the 4th installment in the Smash Bros. series, featuring the likes of famous Nintendo characters like Mario to famous guest characters like Pac-Man."SUPER SMASH BROS FOR WII U/3DS"
I have to be honest. I don't own the wii u Version of this game. But i do own the 3DS Version. I have been playing the Wii U Version With my roommate though so i think that qualifies. And theres one conclusion. What a great fighting game huh? Easy to get into, but hard to master. Each character is different, the stages are crafted With heart, and the Music is nostalgic cream to my ears. Its just a fun time. Love this game, will continue to play it and hopefully master it. - DirectorMike LaidlawSam McGlynnPierre Michel-EstivalStarsHarry Hadden-PatonAlix Wilton ReganJon CurryWhen the Conclave is destroyed, leaving only one survivor, demons are loosed up on the world. In an attempt to restore order and save the world, the survivor--now the inquisitor-- instigates the long forgotten inquisition.But of course there had to be a dragon age game on this list. after all i love Dragon Age. And yes believe the hype. Inquisition is great. It has a good plot, the characters are fleshed out and interesting, the gameplay is a mix of the tactical parts of origins and the action based button mashing of awakening, and the world is huge and a delight to explore. I love inquisition and it would be number one on the list, if my Choices actually had real consequences. But nevermind that. Loved the game.
- DirectorJens MatthiesStarsBrian BloomAlicja BachledaGideon EmeryAfter regaining consciousness following an injury sustained in World War II, legendary American commando, B.J. Blazkowicz, awakens from a coma in a dystopian Nazi dominated world of 1960s. He tries to locate the remnants of the resistance.I'm not a big fan of shooters. Modern shooters that is. The military michael bay like we've seen so much of recently isn't my jam. But i loved wolfenstein, doom, duke and quake in the past. So "Wolfenstein: The New Order" peaked my interest. I was hyped. And my hype was actually legit. Wolfenstein: The New Order is a great reboot to a classic franchise that manages to be fresh and old School at the same time. Coupled With a fantastic ensemble of characters i rarely felt bored.
- DirectorChris ParkerChris 'Crispy' BrionStarsTrey ParkerMatt StoneMona MarshallAs the New Kid, discover the lost Stick of Truth, and earn your place at the side of Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny as their new friend.Trey Parker and Matt Stone...If you read this ( you probably won't, since about 50 People actually read my lists) i would like to say thank you. Thank you for all the years you've me laugh at the People and stories from the small town of South Park. And thank you for this game. Its funny, it has some great gameplay, and its a love letter to all gamers who are fans of Your show. This game helped me through a tough time in my life, and I will never forget it. Thank You!
- DirectorPatrick MetheStarsTroy BakerNaveen AndrewsJanina GavankarTo fulfil his mother's dying wish, Ajay Ghale travels to Kyrat to scatter her ashes. Before he can accomplish this, though, he must end a civil war between the Golden Path and Min's forces.Now that I'm done With the senimental *beep* let me talk about why this game is number 7 on the list. Far Cry 4 is basically gameplay wise the same game as Far Cry 3. But I never got annoyed by that fact. Why? Well because I was having so much fun. Ubisoft has never really nailed the open world genre when making assassins Creed or Watch Dogs (God I hated that game). But far cry is always fun. Why is that? Hell if I know, but I don't care. Far Cry 4 is fun. Just fun. Is that wrong?
- DirectorMatthew AllenChristian CantamessaNeil HuxleyStarsJack QuaidTroy BakerClaudia BlackThe family of Talion, a ranger of Gondor responsible for guarding the Black Gate of Mordor, is killed by Saurons armies, but Talion is revived with wraith-like abilities and heads into Mordor to exact his revenge.Licensed games is a hard thing to make. Either you're bound to make a shot for shot adaptation or something that strays to far away from the Source material that It's just well weird. Shadow Of Mordor is neither. It takes something we all know and love (Middle-Earth). And creates and entirely New story and experience. And the game is also very entertaining. The nemesis system and quarrels With various orcs made me feel like i was truly a ranger or Warrior in Middle Earth.
- DirectorNick HermanJason LatinoDennis LenartStarsAdam HarringtonErin YvetteChuck KourouklisAs Bigby Wolf, the big bad wolf in human form, you will discover that the brutal, bloody murder of a Fable is just a taste of things to come when another dead Fable is found which starts the hunt for a serial killer.But...but...this game was released in 2013. It says so on the title? Are you blind? No..this game is an episodic game, With two episodes released in 2013 and 4 in 2014. I think that Counts. I haven't really been a big fan of Telltale's games In the past. Interactive dramas just ain't my thing. Something about The Wolf Among Us just intrigued me though. A world in which Creatures from fables hide as humans, and have a Secret society. Then a murder brings everything to hell? Love it! The Wolf Among Us was a memorable and cool experience that I would love to explore more. Sequel plz?
- DirectorSteve FukudaStarsDavid ForsethNathan ConstanceDave B. MitchellScience-fiction shooter video game that juxtaposes small vs. giant, natural vs. industrial, man vs. robot.If you base a online shooters quality on how long it will keep you invested, then titanfall is easily not a good game. I haven't played it for months. Is it bad? No of course not, it wouldn't be on the list if it was. Then why am I not playing it anymore? I honestly don't know, it just doesn't interest me any more. But by god how much fun me and Titanfall have had. In the first 2 months of this games release i clocked in over 100 hours.
Now that's a lot of time to be spending on a game, and I enjoyed every second of it. Titanfall is a great game, that I doubt you will even remember in a few years, but it doesn't matter. If you spend over 100 hours in a game, then It's by my definition a good game. I enjoyed it for 100 hours. It deserves a spot on my top 10 list.
