I've been meaning to write this one for a while now, but there were still a few games I wanted to try beforehand. Now that I've gone through most of them (reviews forthcoming, too), I feel much better about committing to a top 5.
So, here they are: my favorite games initially released in 2014.

[REVIEW] Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
So
here we are: over fifteen years after its debut on the Nintendo 64,
Super Smash Bros. went from interesting oddity to one of gaming's
premier franchises. As expected, this Wii U version is a collection of
superlatives: Smash never looked better, never featured so many
characters, never offered so many gameplay modes, and (perhaps most
importantly) was never quite as crazy as it is here.

[REVIEW] Game of Thrones Episode One: Iron From Ice
Based on George R. R. Martin’s seminal A Song of Ice and Fire book series, HBO’s Game of Thrones has been one of the main players in the pop culture of this decade. As any gaming fanatic would realize, Martin’s expansive world, with richly detailed lore and intricate plot lines, would be a perfect setting for a Skyrim-like type of open-world video game. We’ve yet to get something like that, but in the meantime Telltale Games is giving the series its already traditional choose-your-own-adventure treatment. The result should be pleasant for fans of the show, even if there are pitfalls along the way.
