GOTY 2014
Gonna submit this to the aggregate list.
This list only includes games that were BOTH released in 2014 AND played by me in 2014. This of course means there are many games I didn't get to playing for whatever reason that I would have liked to. These are: Kingdom Hearts 2.5, Evil Within, Crimzon Clover, Bayonetta 2, Donkey Kong:Tropical Freeze, Geometry Wars 3, Steins Gate, Guilty Gear XrD, Littlewitch Romanesque.
I also will be including re-releases if they are relevant to me.
Overall I'd give 2014 a (*5/10*)
Here are some other-category awards, kinda based on the ones Giant Bomb officially did:
Best Old Game: Dodonpachi Saidaioujou (2013). Was on my list last year but shmups tend to get better when you put more effort into them and now I'd have rated it higher.
Console of the Year: Vita. I felt like the quality of ports to PC took a slight dip this year, so I award this to Vita for having games that work.
Best Looking Game: Senran Kagura Bon Appetit. I didn't even need to mod this one!!
