damn, what a year. RANKED:

BioShock Infinite - fav game of all-time. Enough said rly, it's got the best story in any game ever imo. Even better if you count the Burial at Sea epilogue DLC

Grand Theft Auto V - amazing. I hadn't played the series since San Andreas (which I had loved playing at my friend's house) so was excited to finally play one again and recapture that MAGIC, which it did and then some. The singleplayer alone was gr8 but the online was the icing on the cake. Rockstar's easily my fav developer

The Last of Us - a tad overhyped tbh and out of the "man and girl traverse a post-apocalyptic zombified earth together" games that came out around that time, TWD S1 was better. BUT this game was great in its own right, especially for the gameplay (and I'm usually someone who hates stealth) and visuals. The characters/plot were good too but didn't hit me too hard til the ending which WAS amazing

The Wolf Among Us - not as good as TWD/Borderlands as far as top-tier Telltale goes, but still vry good

Tomb Raider - this was a blast. The sequences where the world is crumbling around you and you have to keep running/climbing/jumping/etc were great, as well as the gunplay

--gap--

Payday 2 - p fun game to play with the pals. It's dece

--gap--

Saints Row IV - ehhh. Played like a couple hours and quit, felt like a bad GTA knock-off that was trying too hard
