Top TouchArcade Stories of 2014

Posted on by Eli Hodapp

With the year almost over, I put on the old fashioned TouchArcade copper diving suit and went for a swim in our traffic stats over the last year. We posted a similar story last year, and I thought it was interesting enough to do again. Once again I’ve split these up in to game reviews, game guides, and news stories. Also, this is only for articles published during 2014. Introducing historical content into the mix makes things weird, as most of the top stories from 2013 have continued to perform well (oddly enough) throughout 2014.
