My top 10 of 2014 (not really a very good year in my opinion compared to 2013 since only nintendo seemed to show up strong this year):
1) ORAS - Not really a surprise here my fav region returns albeit not as strong as i wanted it to be with it lacking frontier.
2) Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreame legends Complete edition - my return to one of my gaming roots was a welcomed one this year with a lot of new characters since i left the series and a return the the combat system i preferred .
3) Samurai Warriors 4 - Finally this series returned after having skipped the ps3 entirely
4) Dragon Age Inquisition - while i've not been able to find the time for a full run this game has definitely proven its at the top of the pack this here with so many slip ups from other top contenders meaning it some what stands alone at the top of mainstream Console titles.
5) Banished - the dark souls of city building games a really really good game that came out of nowhere.
6) Civilization Beyond Earth - I loved it albeit it was a very safe design choice since it offered nothing new but it was enjoyable.
7) Shadow of Mordor - Enjoyable game play along with an awesome new feature with the captains gaining power and rivalries etc but other than that it feels v similar to a LOTR re-skin of Assassins Creed.
8) Destiny - BEST game play I've seen in the FPS genre for a while unfortunately over-hyped with not enough content resulting in an astoundingly beautiful and enjoyable drop when we were promised an ocean. ..
9) Infamous: Second Son + First light - Good games not outstanding but good and worth buying.
10) Watchdogs - Another overhyped release that explored fresh content a welcomed attempt by ubisoft given some of the disasters they've released over the last 5 years...
Honorable Mentions: Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate, Dark Souls 2, Smite, HearthStone
Note: Bravely Default is very likely to go in to the top 10 when I've played enough of it to know how it fairs, obviously pushing watchdogs out of the top 10 and into the honorable mentions.
