As 2014 winds to a close, the editors at Ten Ton Hammer are pleased to present our 10th annual game of the year awards!

As has become our annual tradition, our team spends most of the month of December locked in a secret underground bunker where we review what the year had to offer for massively multiplayer online gamers. Our Best of 2014 Awards represent the titles we consider to be the most impactful in their respective categories and genres. As with previous years, we've also included awards in categories or for titles that may not be core MMOGs, but we consider to be well deserving regardless.

A lot of excellent games were released in 2014, and while each have their merits, we were determined to scale things down to a list of those titles that left the most lasting positive impressions. Our picks for the Best of 2014 can be found below, presented in our spiffy new gallery format for your viewing enjoyment.
