Each year, we as a team come together and have to make the brutal decisions of defining the best of the best. It sounds difficult, but in all honesty, the development teams make it easy by delivering quality products that we get to consume each year – and these awards are our way of paying proper tribute.
Which titles went that extra mile to please? What experiences left us in reflection? These are the games that will live on past a generation as they offered a form of entertainment greater than our currency. This is the Game of the Year Awards for 2014, so join us as we celebrate greatness yet again!

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
Matt from We Game Daily writes: "Cross Worlds isn’t going away. It’s making a small fortune, particularly in Asian markets, so there’s no reason for Level-5 to pull the plug. That said, there’s no real reason why a full PC/console sequel can’t be developed alongside efforts to support Cross Worlds."
While Ni no Kuni 3 would be cool, if it was like the first game, where is Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2?
They should've worked with Ghibli to put out a proper movie. Should've also made a Pokemon-esque spin-off rather than make Yokai Watch. If they do make a third game they gotta work with Ghibli!
Awesome list. Hope to see even better come out of 2014!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. How on earth is One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 the PS3 GOTY!?
Also - Papers, Please? as PC GOTY? I mean, I know it got some praise from various outlets but...the GOTY? Really?
...apart from that, I approve. Gears Judgment seemed a bit weak for the choice though.
Yay, some recognition for Ni no Kuni! Here's hoping for a sequel.
Seems like a terrible year for the 360 IMO. A write-off of a console during 2013.
PC had some real gems but all the major titles like Company of Heroes 2 and Rome 2 were disappointing.
A fighting game as PS3 GOTY? While fun, I'm not so sure. At the end of all things, opinions abounds.
The Last Of Us truly deserves to win for sure
Glad to see a lot of love for Ni no Kuni and Project X Zone in those few categories. Not a big fan of the console winners though as Gears of War was really terrible compared to past games.
