The 2014 Grimmys: Mobile Game of the Year
The best game we played this year on any mobile platform. Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft Hearthstone is too easy to play, not to play it. Not just because it’s the most accessible collectible card video game, well, ever, but because that game experience transfers so well between a desktop and a tablet. For most of us, it’s… Continue reading
The 2014 Grimmys: Co-op Game of the Year
The best cooperative game we played this year that only got better with our best gaming friends. Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Featured one of our memorable gaming marathons this year, Diablo III came a long way in 2015 thanks to the release of the expansion and subsequent content patches. Our co-op time with Reaper of Souls… Continue reading
The 2014 Grimmys: Early Access/Beta of the Year
If we can play it, we’re going to have an opinion, no matter how early it is. If you take care of us early on though, we’ll take care of you later on. After playing the game early, we can’t wait to see how this one turns out. Destiny The Destiny Alpha was one of… Continue reading
The 2014 Grimmys: Best Looking Game of the Year
Graphics and style are all a part of the package. Don’t overthink this. Is this game good looking or not? This game made our eye holes the happiest. Alien: Isolation Attention to detail to perfectly recreate the creepiest atmosphere in all of film will get you our attention. Everything looks and feels like Alien. It also… Continue reading
The 2014 Grimmys: Best Moment of the Year
No matter your preference of drama, comedy, or action – this is the standout memory in gaming that will stick with all of us. South Park: The Stick of Truth – Equestrian Foreplay There’s a reason it’s called South Park and not the Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman Show. The residents of South Park are… Continue reading
The 2014 Grimmys: Mind F*** of the Year
We did not see that coming. This clever feature or twist set the game apart regardless of how the rest of the game panned out. This is worth experiencing for yourself. Potatoman Seeks the Troof – The ending This one may be on us, but we thought we had the Potatoman figured out. After all, we’d… Continue reading
The 2014 Grimmys: Tingle Award for Worst Character
It’s quite simple, the mere existence of this character is offensive and a detriment to video games. Go away. Narrator – Valiant Hearts: The Great War He almost derailed us entirely. This narrator should stick to doing voiceovers in music videos or movie trailers rather than attempting to tie together the plot of a heartfelt… Continue reading
The 2014 Grimmys: Comeback Award
We had almost given up on these franchises either because they were starting to suck or they had been gone too long. The triumphant return of this franchise will be remembered until the next one. Alien: Isolation How many times has a game starring a xenomorph let you down? My counter says, every time but one… Continue reading
The 2014 Grimmys: Mr. Dave Award for Best New Character
In honor of the greatest create-a-character in Horrible Night history, we do not take our relationships with video game characters lightly. This new character stole the show. Fergus Reid – Wolfenstein: The New Order Sorry to those who chose Private Wyatt, but Fergus is the man. He manages to be the biggest fan of Blazko (the… Continue reading
The 2014 Grimmys: F*** Me Award
Our level of frustration is only matched by the few sharp moments of pure bliss that come from being one step ahead of the pure evil that this game is designed around. We love to hate you. Alien: Isolation We knew the alien would have it in for us, but those creepy androids didn’t have… Continue reading
The 2014 Grimmys: BFG Award
Overachievers are fine by us when they blow our minds and exceed our wildest expectations. This game in particular didn’t have to try so hard, but we’re happy it did. South Park: The Stick of Truth The best case scenario after Ubisoft salvaged this game from THQ’s bankruptcy was that it get released but would… Continue reading
