These are 'officially' the best games of last year
From mobile hits to the de facto game of the year, these are the titles you need to play (if you haven't already).
Gaming is a matter of personal choice: some people adore beat'em'ups, others long winded adventures that never see a punch thrown.
But sometimes respect must be paid where it's due, with nods of approval and slaps on the back offered to those studios who have made a particularly excellent beat'em'up, or an extra detailed long winded adventure.
Which is exactly what happened at this year's DICE gaming awards.
From mobile hits to the de facto game of the year, these are the titles you need to play (if you haven't already).
