I've never made a Game of the Year list, but hell, I'll give it a try. It's kind of funny though; last year I was able to keep up with most of the releases. Though I didn't get to play them until near the years end. I managed to finish The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and even Divekick. However, this year I fell way behind. I did play a lot of games, just none of them were released in 2014. Anyway, here's my top ten games.

A game that took me nearly two years to complete. It felt like I achieved something truly great when finishing it. Persona 4 was full of memorable characters and moments.
Hey look, another long RPG. This one was totally different though. Despite being set in the typical fantasy land of Elves and Wizards; The Witcher managed to put a unique spin on the setting. Maybe that had something to do with it being filled with allusions to Polish literature and culture.
So anime yet so awesome. For being the oldest game on this list, the gameplay holds up really well.
A game so nice, I played it twice.
A great combination of FPS/RPG gameplay. The atmosphere captured the sense of isolation and terror expertly. I found the setting really engrossing.
Burial at Sea Episodes 1 and 2 made me fall in love with Rapture all over again.
Two words: Burt Reynolds. Oh and I played the entire story as Major Motoko Kusanagi.
It's a super sleezy, ultra gory noir story starring a cyborg-assassin named Mondo Zappa. And the title of the game is taken from a song by The Smiths. We need more games like this.
Old school-ass Final Fantasy with a nice new sheen. I never finished it, but enjoyed the hell out of what I did play.
OK, I have to confess. I haven't actually played this. Hell, it's still in the package.
