Much has been said at various outlets about how satisfying a year 2014 was for the gamers and the industry as a whole. While I'll wholeheartedly admit there was a lot of ugliness to be found last year (social issues, broken games, etc.), I tend to lean on the positive side for a lot of good releases as far as the year is concerned. I don't think we've hit that sort of "next-gen" point that justifies the sale of new consoles and the like. With perhaps the exception of Nintendo, the console scene doesn't have that first-parties don't have that "killer-app" the way something like Gears of War was when it hit the 360.

I'm hopeful this gets turned around this year. We have the odd sort of benefit of having a lot of games pushed back from 2014 into this year, leaving me hopeful that there will be even more to pick out. So here is what I'm looking forward to seeing this year, as well as some wild speculation about what else could be down the road.
