2014 had a good year for video games for everyone to enjoy. How is it possible to pick just one? Well, CheatCC didn’t think it was. Here are two winners the team chose for 2014. Let’s get down to business.
Winners for 2014
Destiny
We’ve been keeping our ears open when around other gamers, and there seems to be one name on everyone’s lips in 2014 more than any other. Of course, players may already know which we’re going to suggest. It’s likely because players experienced it, too. Destiny has been extremely well-received, so much so that even non-Destiny related conversions on blogs, forums, social media and around the water cooler somehow enviably turn to “I can’t make it out for drinks tonight…I’m going raiding.”
Those who’ve actually spent some real time with this groundbreaking title will find it hard to remain skeptical regarding its revolutionary importance. It doesn’t so much try to reinvent the wheel of the shooter genre, but rather makes for a more individualized experience amongst players. The level of customization and integration of special powers ensures that no encounters are ever the same, with each user able to find their own identity.
Congratulations, Destiny. You did everything you promised you would do, and then some!

Runner-Up
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Dragon Age: Inquisition has proven that a well-made RPG can exist in a sandbox and work just as well as any other genre. While it would be easy to point to the excellent gameplay, crisp textures or rich storytelling as reasons any gamer would do well to pick it up, that’s the low-hanging fruit. What gamers should really know about this game is the seemingly endless well of playtime waiting to be found here. We’ve heard of gamers easily putting in 40-50+ hours and barely reaching the halfway point. This may just give players the biggest return for their gaming bucks they’ll find anywhere for 2014!
