E3 2014 showcase was, in short, vastly improved from recent
years showings. Sure, EA’s outing was disappointing with nothing more than
sports rehashes and microscopic showings of the next Mass Effect and Star Wars
Battlegrounds games.
Sure; Nintendo didn’t really have a presentation and yeah,
after being burned by the Watch-Dogs fiasco, gamers are bit more cautious
regarding pre-release visuals and scripted sequences.
But E3 2014 was excellent. It was far, far more difficult to
pick just ten this year and Nintendo finally makes an entry on the list after
last year’s absence (and no, I just don’t care enough about Super Smash Bros.,
sue me).
