New Games 2014

Just as the title says, this list will contain all my new swag for the year.

Game Release Date GameSpot Score Guuthulhu's Score

Blue Estate

I'm a huge fan of the comic and rail shooters.

--

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy

I don't recall why i wanted this game, it's been awhile, and I've yet to actually play it.... still.....

--

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

This is one of January's free Plus games. It looks interesting, but I wonder if it will be too frustrating for me. I don't do well with games where I must control two characters simultaneously.

8

Dark Souls II

There's really no excuse to not own this game... unless you're one of those crazy people that can't take the pain.

--

Daylight

I'm also a sucker for horror games. This looked like it had potential.

--

Dishonored

I received the GOTY edition as a gift. I never wanted this game.

--

DmC: Devil May Cry

I enjoyed the first game as an action title and hated everything else. Seeing a more emo Dante makes me think I will like it even less, but it's a January free game for Plus, so I snagged on the off-chance I will ever want to do anything with it.

--

Doki-Doki Universe

I got in on whim. That can be bad sometimes.

--

Dungeon Keeper

This was a GoG freebie and a game in serious need of a comeback. I put so many hours into this and its sequel, I really miss it. There's nothing quite like it.

--
8.6

Earth 2150

I've had a hankering to play old RTS titles-this being among them.

-- --

Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster

I wanted a good turn-based RPG to play on my Vita.

--

Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn

I wanted a pretty RPG to play on my PS4.

7

Goat Simulator

'Cuz reasons

-- --

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

This is my favorite of the franchise, so now I can enjoy it on PS3. If ever I feel like playing it ever again...

-- --

Injustice: Gods Among Us

I am a DC fan and wanted this game for a long time. Got it on sale for under $10!

-- --

Insecticide: Episode 1

I wanted this on DS but my reserve got sold, as frequently happens at my local, so I got it on PC.

--

Just Cause

This was a gift for me. I originally owned it on 360 and had been plugging away at a 100% completion, but I don't like the 360, so yay for friends and yay for Steam!

8.3

Just Cause 2

This is really fun and I'm glad to own it on PC as well.

--

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

I've decided to admit I actually like these LEGO games. I'm not much of a MARVEL fan since Fear Itself tanked in my opinion, but.... it IS LEGO.... I guess we'll see.

--

Loadout

I needed a change from TF2

--

Lone Survivor

I had read and heard good things about the game, so finally I've the chance to play it.

--

Mercenary Kings

A plus freebie that by the looks that made me think of some Metal Slug Borderlands inspired thing. That's not too far from the mark.

--

Muramasa: The Demon Blade

A plus freebie I had forgotten I ever wanted to play.

--

Octodad: Dadliest Catch

I like cephalopods. I didn't like this game.

--

Orion: Dino Horde

Killing Floor really inspired a love for wave-based co-op. I tried a free-weekend on Steam and really enjoyed it. The 1-on-1 duels really make me miss the Jedi Knight franchise.

-- --

Overcast: Walden and the Werewolf

My kid bro gifted this to me claiming i had to play it.

-- --

Payday 2

This was another Plus freebie that I always wanted to play, but never did, and still haven't....

--

Planets Under Attack

I got it for premise and appearance, though it's really not the type of game I like--also, coupon.

-- --

Puppeteer

I fell in love with this game ever since I saw the trailer. It was on sale for Plus subscribers, so i jumped on my chance to get this game for less.

--

Rain

I had been following this game for a very long time, but I couldn't bring myself to pick it up for fear of it failing me. Recently on sale for Plus subscribers, i went for it.

7

Reach for the Sun

It looked to be an interesting strategy/puzzler so I picked it up. It is fun.

-- --

Remember Me

Another Plus freebie. I had always been interested in playing it, but overall it just didn't look like anything I haven't done before. Free is a good price to try just about anything.

--

Sir, You Are Being Hunted

I had seen people play this and finally decided to give it a go myself.

--

Skylanders Swap Force

When you get down to it, this is another micro-transaction game disguised behind pretty little figures you can physically collect. I don't care. It's fun and the sculpts are really nice.

--

SteamWorld Dig

I'm a glutton to procedurally-generated mining games.... *sigh*

--

Strider

Needs.

--

Tales of Xillia

After Ni no Kuni and Dragon's Dogma, I wanted a more traditional JRPG experience. I've always like the Tales series, so I'm hopping back aboard with this one. It was on sale for $10 for Plus subscribers, so no brainer there.

8

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

This was a gift from a harrowing life-event that turned out A-okay.

--

The Maker's Eden

I HAD to have this after seeing it on Steam Greenlight and playing the demo. Precisely how I like my point & clickers. It means a lot to me to have received it as a gift for making an impressions video.

-- --

Thomas Was Alone

This is another game I'd heard good things about and can finally play.

--

TowerFall Ascension

It was a plus freebie. Why not?

--

Unclaimed World

It's still in early access, but really appeals to me. I like this sort of thing.

-- --

Warframe

I needed something besides Loadout and Orion Dino Horde. There is no going back, now.....
