Picking the best game of any year is forever a challenge for the team at CheatCC. However, with some truly fresh and new titles released during the year, the list got a little easier. Here are the best games of 2014 with a few honorable mentions.
Winner 2014
Titanfall
Titanfall edges out Destiny for a few good reasons. First is, naturally, the mechs. The sheer fun factor of climbing into these giant iron beasts and going toe-to-toe with opponents in a Godzilla-esque rumble simply can’t be overstated. New mechanics gave Titanfall a very experimental but amazing feel that gave players the feeling that something was different about this sci-fi shooter. Also, the fact that it appeals to the more traditional base of shooter fans gives it a slight edge over a game like Destiny (which is very experimental).

Runner-Up 2014
Destiny
While not the top dog in this particular category, there’s still something to be said for 2014 and Destiny’s ballsy new approach to turning the shooter genre on its ear. Bungie’s first solo venture made a big statement right out of the box by combining MMO elements with an FPS that sports a very Halo-like flair. Leveling characters up via countless nights of raiding with buddies helps appeal to both the WoW elf and classic space marine buried inside everyone.
