Title says it all

 

BEST XBOX ONE GAME:

SUNSET OVERDRIVE

8742c3fd-e9d1-4205-bd1e-c67261adb69c.jpg?n=sunset-hero.jpg

My favorite game from last year's Microsoft conference takes the victory again this year, I just feel like this game has a lot of what I feel is missing in most shooters nowadays(whether it be TPS or FPS)

 

Honorable Mentions: Halo Master Chief Collection, Crackdown 3, Halo 5, Project Spark, Scalebound

 

BEST PS4 GAME:

THE ORDER 1886

This was a hard one, since, in all honesty, I was least impressed with what Sony showed this year, but I have to give it to last year's winner, The Order 1886, as it's been one of the games I've been looking forward to most on the PS4, and I like the horror vibes

 

Honorable mentions: Uncharted 4, No Man's Sky, LittleBigPlanet 3

 

BEST WII U GAME:

LEGEND OF ZELDA WII U/XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X

This was also a hard one, though this time it was because there were a lot that impressed me here. I have to give it to Xenoblade Chronicles X(which was my fav. Nintendo game last year) and Zelda(the only game here that didn't win last year!). My reason being is that they do a fantastic job showing that the Wii U is capable of on top of just looking very impressive.

 

Honorable mentions: Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros Wii U, Splatoon, Starfox, Mario Maker

 

BEST 3RD PARTY GAME

METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN(PS3/PS4/360/ONE)

Because I'm a biased fanboy

 

Honorable Mentions: Batman Arkham Knight, Mortal Kombat X, Destiny, Far Cry 4, Mirror's Edge 2

 

BEST HANDHELD TITLE:

CODE NAME: S.T.E.A.M(3DS)

N3DS_CodeNameSTEAM_Illustration_02.0_cinema_640.0.jpg

 

Seriously this shit reminds me of Valkyria Chronicles, which was awesome. Plus considering the developers in charge, I'm really looking forward to it.

 

Honorable Mentions: Persona Q, Pokemon OmegRuby/AlphaSapphire, Monster Hunter 4, Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright, Super Smash Bros 3DS, Tales of Hearts R

 

BEST INDIE GAME:

NO MAN'S SKY

Holy shit this game looks gorgeous

 

BEST DLC:

HOLY SHIT THAT'S A LONG TITLE(DEAD RISING 3)

AKA HOLY SHIT CAPCOM ACTUALLY DOES DLC RIGHT. Seriously it's basically a love letter to fans of Capcom, with a just being an over-the-top zombie funfest, and it's great to see Capcom still remembers some of their old franchises(and don't worry Megaman's included too)

 

BEST RERELEASE:

HALO: THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION

e3-2014-halo-master-chief-collection_hero_1920x706_343_v2-3b1e1448f4714da1aa11aed84f4694481-640x325.jpg

 

4(or 3 if you didn't enjoy Halo 4) of the best games remastered into one disc. Some developers were going overboard with rereleases, but this one sounds like it's actually worth it.

 

Honorable mentions(or other remasters that are worth it): Phoenix Wright Trilogy(3DS), Bayonetta 1(Wii U, comes packaged with Bayo 2)

 

ODD ONE OUT:

I still don't know how I feel about these, but hey if they flop at least they'll make nice collector's items

 

BEST NO SHOW:

FINAL FANTASY XV

I can understand Kingdom Hearts III, but quit holding back XV, no one wants to deal with the same shit back when it was Versus XIII

 

Honorable mention: Last Guardian

 

MOST NEGLECTED PLATFORM

PLAYSTATION VITA

http://cdn.us.playstation.com/pscomauth/groups/public/documents/webasset/ps-vita-3g-wifi-large.png

It's a real shame because I love the Vita, and I think it's a great piece of tech, but I'm feeling like Sony's given up on the little guy, and the conference made it feel more like a peripheral more than an actual gaming platform. But hey, at least there were games announced for those who are into quirky Japanese titles(as well as Tales of Hearts R, which looks great)

 

WORST OF SHOW:

EA

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/carolpinchefsky/files/2013/01/ea-logo.jpg

 

This one seriously bored me to tears, a very uneventful show mainly consisting of their sports games that we always expect at the end of the year and a few cockteases like Battlefront, Mass Effect 4 and Mirror's Edge. I'll give them that Battlefield and Dragon Age look great though

 

BEST OF SHOW:

NINTENDO

When you open your conference with a Robot Chicken sketch, then lead to Reggie and Iwata beating the crap out of each other, then your in for a good time.

Seriously the stakes were high for Nintendo this year, but they delivered, with new games, much needed release dates, and some well recieved surprises(Devil's Third becoming a Wii U exclusive). The 3DS is still as strong as ever, and the future of the Wii U looks promising

 

Other mentions:

Ninja Gaiden creator Tomonobu Itagaki's Devil's Thrid is a Wii U exlusive, but I already said that

Suda 51's Lily Bergamo was axed in favor of Let it Die, which is actually really disappointing since I think the former looks a lot more interesting

Scalebound looks awesome

Microsoft's conference really makes me want an Xbox One
