I present to you, my always popular list of all the games released in the last calendar year that I have played. Some games on the list might appear to be releases from 2013 or earlier, but I assure you I played some new/delayed version released on some other platform in 2014. Each game gets a one to two line review. Enjoy.

Nidhogg - Fun game, bad controller support.
The Banner Saga - Everyone loves a tactical RPG. I've played 3 minutes of this game.
Octodad - It's weird that a game with awkward controls is a thing.
Outlast - Too scary.
The Wolf Among Us - Easily the best Telltale game.
Threes - Best game of the year? Best designed if nothing else.
Bravely Default - Fun game that is exactly like an old school JRPG. Overhyped and underloved all at once.
Assassin's Creed 4: Freedom Cry - One of the few pieces of single player DLC I've ever played. It was fun.
Guacamelee: Gold Edition - Metroidvania in Mexico. Love it.
Rayman Legends - Rayman is still a fun game that nobody plays and nobody really needs.
Strider - A fun remake/reboot of a game that no one under 30 remembers.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - If nostalgia was the theme of video games in 2014, I would not be surprised. It's fun, but probably not as fun as the original DKC.
Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare - Joke game that is somehow fun despite the joke.
Thief - I wrote a big thing about Thief. I don't remember what I said, but ultimately this game was a huge downer and has probably killed this franchise.
Dark Souls 2 - Not spelt with a 2 but an II. Either way it is a critical darling of a game that I would argue is actually questionably bad in many, many ways.
Hearthstone - This might be the best game of 2014. It's free to play and somehow compelling as hell.
Towerfall: Ascension - In a year with couch play being a thing, this is the best of those things. It's better than smash.
Luftrausers - Vlambeer is a cool developer. This is a cool little game they made.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - One of the dumber titles of the year, but still pretty fun.
Infamous: Second Son - One of the best looking and easily best playing games of the year. Seattle is a great setting for a super hero game.
Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition - A huge personal favourite this year. The console version is divine. I played it so much it gave my TV image retention issues.
Fez - Finally got to play Fez. It was charming.
Goat Simulator - We live in a weird time for games.
FTL: Advanced Edition - Just as good as FTL. The game translates better to the iPad than it did the PC.
Hitman: GO - A fun puzzle game with an even better visual style.
Peggle 2 - It's more Peggle. That is a good thing. Best sound design of 2014?
Transistor - A beautiful stylish game that didn't grab me quite like Bastion did. Great soundtrack.
Wolfenstein: The New Order - A surprisingly good game that firmly plants itself in old school FPS design. Somehow Wolfenstein even manages to have a good story.
Watch Dogs - A super hyped new IP that mostly delivered on its promises, but still failed to impress long term.
Broken Age: Act 1 - Beautiful, charming and funny.
Mario Kart 8 - I have played and possibly own every installment of the Mario Kart series. This is one of the best.
Valiant Hearts: The Great War - A game that surprises and charms with its characters and art style. Probably not as a good as their REALLY good E3 trailer.
Rogue Legacy - Really good, really hard.
The Last of Us Remastered - As good as the first time around, even better with the inclusion of the superb 'Left Behind' DLC.
Road Not Taken - A puzzle game from the makers of 'Triple Town'. Triple Town was enjoyable in its simplicity, this game, while charming, is too complex for its own good.
The Swapper - Kind of like a weird depressing Portal in space. I dug it.
Hohokum - Best soundtrack of 2014? Maybe even best visuals?
Hotline Miami - Kind of a cheat because this game came out everywhere before 2014, but its release on PS4 lets me include it again on my 2014 list. This game is awesome.
Minecraft (PS4) - Just play it on your computer. Minecraft on consoles feels awful.
Don't Starve - It's a fun little game I guess, but I think I kind of hate it. Too stressful.
Velocity 2X - Despite sounding like it's twice as fast as velocity, I think it was just a sequel. It's fun, but maybe a little too speedrun focused for my tastes.
Destiny - Controversial and huge, Destiny was fun and now has been expelled into the void. A dedicated group of fans will keep this franchise alive for a long time.
NHL 15 - Like every NHL game. Consistently fun.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - This is a fun game. It's not as good as everyone keeps telling you, but I assure you, it's very fun.
Super Smash Bros (3DS) - I'm not sure why I got this game. It's fun, but the 3DS version is definitely the lesser of the two.
Spelunky - I want to love you Spelunky, but you hate me so.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Call of Duty is so tired you can feel the pain in its knees. For what it's worth this is the best entry in ages, but the series needs some time away.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - A tick burrowed itself into my character's head. Such is the nature of this game.
Assassin's Creed Unity - AC is tired and needs some rest. Another fun entry, but the release schedule is killing the creativity of these games. AC is desperate for an engaging story to appear.
Dragon Age: Inquisition - Probably the best game of the year. There is so much to do in this game.
Far Cry 4 - Like Far Cry 3, but with one more. It's very good.
The Talos Principle - A thinking man's Portal. Very good, but maybe not as immediately engaging as Portal.
Wayward Souls - A great roguelike/zeldalike for iOS. Best mobile game of the year?

I think that's it. I played a lot of darn video games this year.

Dag yo.
