What Titles Deserve Game of the Year Nominations?

With the GiN Game of the Year nomination phase in full swing, we take some time to talk about which games we think deserve special consideration this year.

And why not? There is a lot to consider this time around. Unlike in previous years, there does not seem to be any runaway hit that defined 2014. That leaves things more or less wide open for any game to take the coveted crown. And, Gameindustry.com is one of the only publications to totally allow the readers to both nominate and vote for the top titles. So while our editors have strong opinions on the subject, ultimately the choice is up to you.

If you enjoyed playing games in 2014, then now is your chance to show the developers who made those titles your appreciation and love. May the best game win…or at least get nominated!

John Breeden II

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
