Best new games of 2014: What to look forward to


Looking for the best new games launching in 2014? Here's our round-up of must-have PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii U, 3DS and PS Vita games due for release this year.


With the Xbox One and PS4 having arrived late last year, many of the most hotly anticipated games for both next gen consoles are set to land in 2014, providing more compelling reasons to make the upgrade.


It's not all about next gen, either, as there are plenty of big games still slated to release on the Xbox 360 and PS3, and more indie games are making their way to PSN and Xbox Live. Sony and Nintendo continues to show great support for the 3DS and PS Vita with Yoshi's New Island and new Oddworld games for the Sony handheld among the titles to look out for.


PC gamers will not be forgotten about as Valve's army of Steam Machines battle for living room space and we cross our fingers that a consumer-ready Oculus Rift VR headset will be available before the end of the year.


If you are wondering which standout titles will eat up most of your spare free time, we've hand picked the 10 games we are most excited about playing in 2014.
