Hodor's guide to the hottest video games of 2014

Hodor

Game of Thrones is back on our TVs! Dragons, betrayal, and hot, tunic-based rufty are in vogue again. It's a truly glorious thing to behold. Never one to miss a trick, I called up my old buddy Hodor--the show's gentle giant--to see if he'd be willing to give me some choice commentary on the biggest games of the year. He was kind enough to do so last year, and his philosophical soundbites on 2013's hottest games proved eerily accurate (opens in new tab).

However, I do think the man has outdone himself this year. His knowledge has grown exponentially more insightful over the past 12 months, his answers even more eloquent. When he was talking about Mario Kart 8, I was close to tears, such is the beauty of his prose. Prepare to be humbled...

There you have it--a comprehensive view of gaming in 2014. Apologies if any of you were offended by Hodor's comments on Evolve. What can I say, he's very vocal on that subject. I totally agree with him, by the way, but if I were to go on record with anything like that I'd probably get fired.
