17 Awesome 2014 Video Games You Might've Missed

15. Goat Simulator

What It's About: Step into the hooves of one very mischievous goat as he seeks to cause havoc in a small town, generating as much property damage as goatly possible. Why You Need To Play It: Do you really need a reason beyond reading the title? Goat Simulator may be full of bugs and is essentially a running joke that happened to get turned into a game, but it's also absurdly entertaining for an hour or two. The game doesn't have any discernible plot and literally consists of the player accomplishing a loose set of objectives (such as blowing up a gas station and scoring mad points on a trampoline) around the city. It's like nothing else you've ever played, and though few gamers have actually completed all of those objectives, it's a fine example of how smart developers can incorporate dubious glitches and make them part of the outrageous fun.
