Total: 100Games Beaten:
2013 2012 2011 2010w00t, I hit 100 with almost two full days to spare!
Retro/Grade is a great shmup/rhythm game mash up - I had played it on PS3 a few years ago and it was fun to revisit it. Very pretty, great soundtrack, and worth a look if you have any curiosity.
Jazzpunk is probably the most surreal game I have ever played, and that's saying something. It was equally hilarious and wonderfully surprising, with lots of little minigames that rewarded you for exploration. I think
the screenshots of my journey through the game provide ample evidence as to its strangeness, and this game is ultimately one of the highlights of 2014 for me and a nice way to end the year.

This matches my personal best for games beaten in a year - and I don't think I want to try and hit any more between now and the 1st as I had to do a lot of playing to get these last 14 in since December 14th.
This was a year of many long games - at least for what I typically do. I sunk in excess of 80 hours into Destiny, about 65 hours into Dragon Age Inquisition, more than 80 combined in the various Borderlands games, another 50 or so into Diablo III, 40 or more into Titanfall, and then I probably played another half dozen games or more that clocked in around 15-20 hours (Thief, Eye of the Beholder, Forza Horizon 2, AC: Black Flag, Shadow of Mordor, etc.). I enjoyed really digging into some of these, and the vast majority of them still have things in them that I want to go back to in the next year for various reasons.
