We also have the last of our Game of the Year 2014 articles, which show the world what our favorite titles of the year were and which are the games of this year that we really want to play.
The Editorials section is also offering some personal views on the attacks launched on the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, the silent removal of Steam games by Valve, the way the future of gaming is linked to creativity, and the most important evolution of the console space in 2014.
The Incoming 2015 section talks about the biggest launches of the year and about the reasons why each of them can be important for a group of gamers or for the industry as a whole.
The Weekend Reading piece explains why 2015 needs to be a year characterized by stability and by a commitment, from both developers and publishers, to quality and solid launches.
