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

John has spent his journalism career covering just about everything, from small-town meetings and crime scenes to Capitol Hill and the U.S. Congress. He got his start writing about games and technology with a computer column called On the Chip Side, which grew to more than 1 million in circulation and ran in newspapers across several states. Today, John is an award-winning journalist with more than 25 years of experience. His work has appeared in The Washington Post, Newsweek and many other publications, and he writes a regular technology and government column for Nextgov/FCW and hosts security and educational webinars for FedInsider. He is also the founder of the Tech Writers Bureau and the chief editor of GameIndustry.com. He still loves disappearing into games, whether that means crawling through Baldur’s Gate dungeons deep into the night or planning one more big offensive in the latest wargame.
