Well that's another year in the books and what a fantastic year it was, especially coming off of a mediocre 2012. This was the most difficult best of list to finalize in awhile, from top to bottom I enjoyed every game I played, even the ones that disappointed me in one way or another, making 2013 one of the best years in gaming for me. These are the games that stood out to me most, both positively and negatively.
