The Halfway Point for Games

Now this would be a crazy game if it had all this!

Does 2014 seem a little slow to anyone? There have been some nice games for sure, but compared to other years, there just doesn’t seem to be too many of them. Perhaps that is the fact that we have new consoles that developers are still figuring out, or perhaps its because there was so much stuff released over the Christmas holiday. In any case, it’s not a total loss. The indie developers have stepped up in a big way. And some triple-A publishers like Ubisoft have really stepped up with top tier games like Watch Dogs and smaller indie-like titles like Valiant Hearts: The Great War and Child of Light.

So what do you think the future holds for the games of 2014? Are we still going to be subjected to some hits and some misses, or will the release of great games bust wide open. Or, do we have to wait till 2015 to have another blockbuster year?

John Breeden II

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
