This week we draft a team of the best (and worst) games of 2014 to see what sort of mess we can come up with!

While it looks as though 2023 will go down as one of the strongest years for video games in recent memory (Starfield, Baldur's Gate 3, Tears of the Kingdom... Golum) we weren't always so lucky.

While it's tough to pin down an objective WORST year in video game history, we've scoured the releases of the past 30 or so years to try to find the one with the weakest releases.

That year? 2014.

Sure, it had some strong releases, but it also had a whole lot of duds, and more than a few cases where a great game was launched on a less-than-ideal console.

Plus: our thoughts on The Case of the Golden Idol DLC (The Lemurian Vampire) and the recent Microsoft Leaks!
