Readers' Poll Voting Is Closed
UPDATE: Thank you for submitting your votes. Look for the results in the February issue of Game Informer, which hits in early January.
The current year of video games is a strange one. Though tens of millions of players have flocked to the new consoles, publishers seemed to be lagging behind in delivering experiences that truly feel like something that couldn't be accomplished on the last generation of systems. As a result many of the biggest games of the year appeared on both new and last-gen consoles.
Though 2014 lacked the high-water marks like last year's The Last of Us, Grand Theft Auto V, and BioShock Infinite, that's not to say we didn't have meaningful and exciting games to enjoy. Now is your chance to declare which titles you most enjoyed the most.
If you find yourself scrolling through the list and wondering why a particular game isn't included, here is some basic explanation of our requirements. We're only including final games, so no Steam early access alpha builds or betas were given consideration. We also decided against including ports or remastered titles like Grand Theft Auto V, The Last of Us Remastered, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection in the general categories. Instead, these games have their own category. We also chose to avoid including episodic games that haven't completed their story arcs like Broken Age, Tales From Borderlands, and Game of Thrones. Those will be eligible next year.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
