    My list would probably look a bit different if I actually played more of the games I picked up... oops

    ranks/reasons:
    1. Bioshock Infinite
    2. Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm
    3. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
    4. Tomb Raider
    5. The Last of Us
    6. Ni No Kuni
    7. Fire Emblem: Awakening
    8. Pokemon X
    9. Lego Marvel Super Heroes
    10. Animal Crossing: New Leaf
    11. Picross e
    12. Monaco: What's Yours is Mine

    1, 2, and 4 I actually completed and had a lot of fun with. I didn't get very far in Zelda but I'm not in any rush and it's very enjoyable.

    5 through 8 all need more of my attention. Really cool games, but I haven't played them enough to really vote them any higher.

    Lego Marvel Super Heroes is my first Lego video game... while it's amusing and entertaining, dead ends and glitches often create just as much frustration.

    Likewise, Animal Crossing: New Leaf is my first Animal Crossing. It will be much easier to get into once I'm not playing several games at once.

    Not much to say about the last 2. I regret that I still have Brothers, Gone Home, and Gunpoint to start/finish.

    10 games, most 3DS, some PC, and Pandora's Tower, with an extremely high degree of certainty the last console-only game I'll ever vote for. If the rules allowed it, Bravely Default could have been a challenger, but since they don't, the gold goes to Link Between Worlds.

    In my PC: Ryzom, Diablo III, Naruto Shippuden UNSR, The Old Republic
    In my 3DS: Super Smash Bros, AC New Leaf
    Last game completed: Steamworld Dig

    Going through the list made me realize the majority of games I played and enjoyed enough to vote for this year were either out last year, are pre-release this year, or addons.

    I love that so many people have games I've never heard of on their top 10. It seems like only few years ago everyone's was pretty much the same games in slightly differing orders.

    If it weren't for this thread last year, I wouldn't have played Frog Fractions. Good stuff!

    Going through the voting list, I realized that I haven't played a ton of new games this year. In fact, Most of the games I played were mobile games like Cut the Rope 2 and Knights of Pen and Paper.

    but I still gotta give slot 1 and 2 to the platinum games power hour because those games broke me emotionally

    I didn't copy my list but I did put Saints Row IV in the top slot. I think my husband and I laughed more during that game than, like, ever before at anything. It was followed by Monster Hunter and Animal Crossing, and then the numbers started to get hard to compute.

    I wish sim city had been able to be #1. That debacle will be what I remember most in gaming from 2013. I'm weird though and still ranked it pretty high when I was just thinking about the games I've played.

    Edit: numbers and platforms.

    Even if the SimCity launch hadn't been a debacle it wouldn't have made my list. Technical issues aside, it was just a shitty fucking SimCity game. It took everything that was good about SimCity games, tossed it away, and replaced it with something more like The Sims: Slightly Bigger Edition

    I actually enjoyed SimCity 5 for what it was, but it doesn't even belong in the same breath as any sort of top 10. I got a good 60-70 hours of fun out of it, and for that it was worth the money...but it wouldn't even make it in to my top 20.

    e: I should say it doesn't belong in the same breath as MY top 10. davidsdurions is welcome to place any game any place he wants on his top 10.

    Yeah, I'm totally on board bashing simcity, see the thread for more info, I just did my ratings based on how much enjoyment I actually got from each game. Like crysis might have been a very well made game, but I just didn't enjoy it pretty much at all.

    If I had more time to enjoy some of the other smaller games out there I may have rated things vastly different.

    Cheers!

    I always hate this thread, it just reminds me how few new games I play. My top 7

    1. Grand Theft Auto V (360, PS3)
    2. Path of Exile (PC)
    3. Grid 2 (360, PC, PS3)
    4. Candy Box (PC)
    5. Rogue Legacy (PC)
    6. Marvel Heroes (PC)
    7. Unepic (PC, WiiU)

    Yeah, I only played 7 games that came out in 2013 according to that list, but I can say I enjoyed every game I played.

    I'm always confused by the intentions of someone Bro?ing a post. Are they doubting your decision?

    I feel you though, SR4 was a wonderful wacky journey of fun, and Nolan North really tied it all together for me. If I wasn't chuckling at something, I at least had a shit-eating grin plastered on my face

    High five for Dragon's Crown at #1! I'd have Muramasa's awesome Vita up-port at #4 if we could include it, but here's my list:
    1. Dragon's Crown (PS3*, Vita*)
    2. The Last Of Us (PS3)
    3. Guacamelee! (PC, PS3*, Vita*)
    4. Dead Island: Riptide (360, PC, PS3)
    5. Killzone: Mercenary (Vita)
    6. Resogun (PS4*)

    9. Tearaway (Vita)
    10. State of Decay (360*, PC)
    11. Killzone: Shadow Fall (PS4)
    12. Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus (PS3)
    13. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (360*, PC, PS3*)
    14. Don't Starve (PC)

    17. Sorcery Saga: The Curse of the Great Curry God (Vita)
    18. Dead Space 3 (360, PC, PS3)
    19. Ni No Kuni (PS3)
    20. Battlefield 4 (360, PC, PS3, PS4, XB1)

    Usually I don't even make it up to 20 games - this year I cut almost 10.

    Edit : oh shit I forgot Tomb Raider. That'd be at #5, right after Muramasa. Crap.

    Dead Space 3 is one of the best coop shooter ever. Did you play it by yourself?

    I said it in the Dead Space 3 thread. Good horror game? No. Similar to DS 1+2? Not at all. Great coop shooter? Hell yes.

    I'm so sorry.

    But really, this game was made for coop. A lot of the best side missions are only available in coop.

    Part of me is sad that DS 3 was not that true to 1+2, but then I got a great coop shooter that I played with my friend over and over again. I hope we get a true DS sequel, but I also hope we get more DS3-ish games.

    Man, the presence of Dead Space 3 puzzles me. Rest of your list is classy as all hell. Maybe I should give that game another shot. My first 2 tries at it rubbed me the wrong way.

    Dead Space 3 is one of the best coop shooter ever. Did you play it by yourself?

    I said it in the Dead Space 3 thread. Good horror game? No. Similar to DS 1+2? Not at all. Great coop shooter? Hell yes.

    Ah. That explains it. I was playing solo, expecting more Dead Space...you know?

    As Justice says it's a very co-op game. I played through it with a buddy and we had a TON of fun.

    Voting made me realize how many acclaimed games I missed (The Last of Us being the most egregious). So, my top three ended up Gone Home, Tomb Raider, and Bioshock Infinite. Mario 3D World and FF XIV battled it out with Bioshock for third. I forgot where Zelda ALBTW ended up but it was in there.

    Voting this year was seriously crazy hard. Not only were there a ton of just fantastic experiences but the breadth of these experiences seem to be wider than previous years. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this particular poll turns out.

    Well, here I go... I really struggled with #1, but I ultimately I had to go with the amount of time spent on Fire Emblem. Great game. I have to say I enjoyed Tomb Raider far more than I could have possibly imagined since I have pretty much ignored the series after TR3. They did a fantastic job rebooting the series. GTAV still feels like more of the same, but the multi-character mechanic was kinda neat and the game overall is an amazing technical achievement. Oh, and Trevor.

    I guess the only thing that really stands out is that The Last of Us didn't even make the list as I have yet to play the game. :\
