The top 10 is interesting, but equally interesting is that enormous range of games nominated by our panel, so further down the page you'll find their comments on just some of the other games that stood out in this extraordinarily diverse generation of gaming.Īlso, in the video embed below, you can watch a conversation I had with Eurogamer's Christian Donlan, Malindy Hetfeld and Chris Tapsell talking through the top 10 and giving our personal reactions to some of the choices. (Admittedly, while we kept out of the voting ourselves, there was quite a lot of Eurogamer selection bias in the people we chose to spoke to.) Some massive pop-cultural phenomena only got one or two mentions apiece, while some rarefied indie games got a lot of support. It was interesting: there was a pretty strong consensus about the top games on the list - certainly about the number one - but after that there was a huge divergence of opinion, taste and genre that reflects just how thrillingly broad a church video games have become. (That was the only restriction: the games could be of any kind and on any platform.) Then we number-crunched the results to produce a top 10. So we assembled a panel of 19 game developers, critics and journalists - some of our favourite people in the games business - and asked each of them to submit a list of their five favourite games released since November 2013. The answer was simple: step out of our bubble, ask some other people what they thought, and see what, if any, consensus might form. With the current generation running from November 2013 to now, there was bound to be an awful lot of overlap. Last year, we ran a feature series on our games of the decade, curated by the Eurogamer team and very much reflecting our personal tastes and obsessions. And that was before we knew that last week and this would be dominated by news of the price, date and launch line-ups for the two new console families. We wanted to do something special for PAX Online x EGX Digital - the digital gaming event from our parent company, ReedPop, which is running this week - and with new PlayStation and Xbox consoles just two months away, a list celebrating the great games of the generation seemed like a no-brainer.
