Error! Not Found’s 4th Annual Game of the Year Awards
We’ve all said it at one point or another, but it bears repeating: 2014 was pretty much ass. Purely focusing on the games-side of things, there were far more disappointing and broken games that released this year than any of us would have expected. Still, even in this most ass-y of years, there were still games that came out that were worth rewarding. But before we get to those games, let’s start off with a category that’s pretty representative of 2014 as a whole.
Ryan’s Top 10 Games of 2014
Here is the definitive Top 10 list for 2014, unless you have a different one, which is probably the actual definitive list.
Matthew’s Top 10 Games of 2014
You like games? I got your stinkin’ games. But here’s some other stuff first.
Michael’s Top Ten Games of 2014
I get to make a game of the year list too! This was a pretty big year for me, and I’ve got a lot to talk about, so strap in! Please don’t hate my choices.
You Should Be Upset About Tomodachi Life
Hey, have you heard about Tomodachi Life? Maybe you have. It’s a quirky life simulator from Nintendo, headed to the 3DS later this year. Kinda like Animal Crossing, but with more user creation tools and agency. Yesterday, after some protestations, Nintendo explained that you wouldn’t be able to have a homosexual relationship in the game.
This is a problem.
The reasons that its a problem are, to me, obvious. The decision is needless and alienating. The statement in Nintendo’s press release is also one of the slimiest things I’ve ever seen emerge from a video game company. Thousands, if not millions of Nintendo fans will be poorly represented.
Here are five arguments I’ve seen in favor of Nintendo, and I’d like to address just why they’re all bullshit, one by one. Good? Good.
