Cool games of 2014

Now with less bullcrap explanation as to why they're great, just what I want to say about them. If you're reading this you probably already know all that jazz.

Due to a lack of money I haven't played some bigger ones like Wolfenstein or Transistor, but I'm sure those are great too. And for the record if I owned an XOne I'd probably put Sunset Overdrive as my GOTY followed closely by D4.

Oh and I'm only considering finished games. That means Game of thrones, Lethal League or I Am Bread is out of the question.

Honestly this year was kinda slow in games. Ass Creed went down on it's yearly quality curve, a ton of games were pushed for next year, and I don't have a great reason for a PS4 yet. I didn't even plan for this list to be just ten items(11 with the dark horse NEO Scavenger). It's just that slow. Still, the listed are excellent games. I hope my dreams of Oculus Rift 1080p powered GTA V come to fruition next year.

Showing 1-10 of 11 items

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

1. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

Partly because it was free on vita. Also because it's fun. Also because I still haven't beaten everything. Secrets galore!

South Park: The Stick of Truth

2. South Park: The Stick of Truth

I like South Park.

Neo Scavenger

3. Neo Scavenger

A late entry, but this game's pretty cool. It's an RPG where the intricacy of what I can do makes it count.

The Wolf Among Us

4. The Wolf Among Us

The big finale sucked and a lot of weird moments that felt scripted or short but damn this game has a style to it. Also the music's pretty good.

Goat Simulator

5. Goat Simulator

Better than Jazzpunk. It's stupid in a way that's smart.

Super Time Force

6. Super Time Force

I really dig Metal Slug. And it's funny. Kinda short.

TowerFall

7. TowerFall

I spent a lot of time with these kinds of games.

Jazzpunk

8. Jazzpunk

I never loved airplane the way others did. It's probably why I didn't beat this. But there were plenty of stupid moments I loved while playing it.

Luftrausers

9. Luftrausers

I actually like the soundtrack more than the game. Blowing up blimps is hard.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

10. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

I really like mechanics, but I found where the voices, names and models repeat. So the magic's gone.
