2014: The Year in Review

As we close the book on 2014, there are so many amazing things to look back on. We thought we’d round up a list of a few of our favourite things of the year in one awesome compendium.

Before that, however, we can now officially say that 2014 was our biggest year yet, with a record 726 articles across nearly 70 categories, hitting a whopping 1.3 million words. We can’t thank our incredible authors enough! Brent Botsford, John Kalanderopoulos, Erika Szabo, and Tyson Dang have all done fantastic jobs at conveying their passion for the gaming and movie industries we love so much!

So, without further ado, here are our biggest stories of 2014:
