10 Games Coming Out In 2014 That Probably Aren’t On Your Radar, But Should Be

2) The Golf Club

I’m aware golf had a bit of a reputation for one of the more stuffy, pompous and boring sports around, but thanks to the saucy antics of its biggest star, Tiger Woods, it’s been somewhat brought to the fore. Ironic then that EA are dropping his name from their dominant PGA Tour games after 14 years. But dominant for how long, now that there’s a new swinger in town?

The Golf Club may have a pretty naff pun for a title, but going by the recently released footage, it has plenty of other things working in its favour – most notably some ridiculously photo-realistic graphics. EA’s Tiger Woods games were never really lookers, and evolved pretty slowly over their annual life cycle. The Golf Club promises to be something genuinely new (or as new as a golf simulator can be), and laughs in the face of EA’s pricey course DLC system by including a random course generator, so you can play some new grounds whenever you feel like it. Perhaps best off all, and something golf fans have been craving in a game for a while, developers HB Studios are also touting a course creator tool. And with that, my dreams of a 30,000 ft cliff-face par 3 come ever closer.
