41 Must Buy Video Games Of 2014

29. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD €“ March 18th (PS3, Vita)

Final Fantasy X-2 is admittedly just a bonus you€™ll never actually touch unless you€™re a masochist for chick flick nonsense, while Final Fantasy X is easily one of the best games ever made let alone one of the best in the franchise. Not only did it have a sweeping emotional epic of a story with voice acting, (for the first time) but it€™s collectively considered to be the last truly captivating and magical game in the franchise. Whether you€™ve experienced the masterpiece for yourself or not, this one is incredibly tough to pass up beautifully remastered in HD.

28. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes €“ March 18th (PS3, PS4, 360, XBO)

Not to be confused with The Phantom Pain, Ground Zeroes is the DLC game that will tie the stories of Metal Gear Solid 3 and The Phantom Pain together. It€™s also going to ease us into the numerous gameplay changes Hideo Kojima has introduced, including day/night cycles, freeroaming, transportation, new CQC mechanics, and more. This is essentially the Tanker mission of Metal Gear Solid 5, and even though that means this little prologue will only last around 3 hours, it€™s still a taste of Kojima€™s latest entry in a hugely popular series. How can you not feel the hype?

27. Infamous: Second Son €“ March 21st Worldwide (PS4)

Infamous: Second Son has shown me absolutely nothing that would sway me otherwise from stating that it could be this generation€™s first true masterpiece. The game stars a new character with new powers derived from smoke, combat looks as fluid and satisfying as ever, and the graphics are utterly stunning. The game€™s environments look insanely flexible and destructible in ways that a previous generation console couldn€™t handle. Loads of dastardly fun are going to be had leaping to the sky only to plunge downward with the force of an atom bomb, demolishing everything in sight.
