As a gaming reviewer, I get to play a lot of different types of games. Sports, Puzzle, Adventure, you name it.  This year was viewed as a fairly weak one amongst a lot of my peers, but I didn’t see it that way.  Despite the fact that, yes, there was a lot of disappointment, there were still a few diamonds in the rough, and some absolute gems too.  Here’s my personal top 10 for the year 2014, starting with Bravely Default (Pictured) and going from there.

 The Carmageddon franchise is back! Now with more carnage and mayhem than ever before, Carmageddon: Max Damage is available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Set in a world of non-stop laughs, over-the-top violence, and crazy power-ups where you battle it out for the number one spot. Come find out inside why Carmageddon: Max Damage is the best game to date in the franchise.

The pop culture phenomenon that captured the hearts of 40 million players worldwide is back! Guitar Hero Live introduces a newly redesigned guitar controller, two new ways to play, and hundreds of additional songs. After years of research and development by Activision and FreeStyleGames, come find out if Guitar Hero Live will take over your living room once again.

After a long wait, Sacred series fans can rejoice: Sacred 3 is here, and it’s the same Action RPG you enjoyed previously! No wait, it’s anything but!  Sacred 3 is now a hack and slash game drawing inspiration to the Gauntlets and Golden Axes of the world!  It’s now become a multiplayer teamwork-heavy dungeon crawl free-for-all and is nothing like you got used to in years previous.  Sometimes change is good though right?  Check it out.

Sniper Elite 4 has arrived. As legendary sniper Karl Fairburne, it's your job to neutralize a new Nazi threat and help turn the tides of World World II.

The sequel to one of the most popular role-playing games of the last decade has arrived. Come check out Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom.

Grab your Tennis racquet and ball, Mario Tennis Aces is almost here. This past week Nintendo held an open beta, my impressions inside.

I chatted with Scott Phillips, Game Director at Ubisoft Quebec, to discuss some of the changes with Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

Every Nintendo generation since the Nintendo 64 has had a Smash Bros game, and they’ve all been fan favourites so far. I didn’t play the Wii version, but really enjoyed the N64 and Gamecube games, and of course, the Nintendo 3DS one when it came out last month.  But, through all those, the Nintendo Wii U is the best one yet, and has to be right there for Wii U Game of the Year consideration.  Check it out.
