BBG Time Machine: Back to 2014

We're back from a haitus not talk about anything current, but to travel to the gaming stone age of 2014! How was the First year of the PS4 and Xbox One? The Wiiu and the VITA were still a factor, but one had a much better year than the other. And boy, the PS3 was long in the tooth but you wouldn't know it from the game release schedule. Follow along as we trek 2014 from January to December.
We'll see you next for GOTY 2024, it's been a good one.
