This year, we decided to do something special: allow staff to choose award categories of their own to join our end-of-year festivities. In this first half, we name 2013’s best game soundtrack, best remake, best experimental game and best local multiplayer title. READ MORE
This year was full of some truly great games, but there were just some gems worthy of a little extra recognition. Today, we’re naming 2013’s best games on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. READ MORE
This may have been a year of new hardware, but for me it was the time that platforms released in the last few years really came into their own. The 3DS, Wii U and Vita provided some great fun in 2013, and even the PS3 posted one of its best lineups of its lifespan.

Ah, the holidays. It’s a great time to gather with friends and family, appreciate the things you have, eat good food and get some much-needed rest.
Oh, and play games! We like that part, too.
We’re not going anywhere. From now until January, we’ll be sharing what we think, both individually and as a group, are the best that 2013 had to offer. If you do need something to pick up, rest assured: we’ll put you on the right path! Also, in this holiday season of peace and joy, maybe check out these games with winter-themed levels? Or settle down at the table with a good unplugged title? Maybe even use our Amazon page to order some things, and give us the gift of being able to pay our hosting bills.
Mostly, though: have a happy holiday! And bundle up out there.
