Jason's Top 10 Games Of 2013
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
The year is almost over, and the time of List-Making has begun. Read on for my ten favorite games of 2013, presented in no particular order. These might not be the best, or the most definitive, or the most impressive games of the year, but they’re the ones that stuck with me. In a strong year for the medium, these games all stood out.
PHOENIX WRIGHT: DUAL DESTINIES To the uninitiated, the words “virtual lawyer simulator” 
might not conjure up images of a romping good time, but the Phoenix Wright games are endearing in that “holy shit it’s 3am and I literally can’t put HUC99 this game down because the characters are charming as heck and I have to see what happens next” way. Dual Destinies is the best one yetcnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1486473694","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); 
NI NO KUNI I have written many, many words about why Ni no Kuni is my Game of the Year. It’s one of the special ones. THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: A LINK BETWEEN WORLDS When I first w88 finished the huc latest Zelda game, I was a little disappointed: it felt too easy, too simple, too recycled from its spiritual predecessor, Link to the Past. Then I somehow accidentally played through and beat the whole game a second time, so I guess it got me.
SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD You know a game is fantastic when you have to listen to Charles 
Martinet, the voice of Mario, saying “mee-oww” every time you finish a level, but you still want to keep playing.
FIRE EMBLEM: AWAKENING Stephen Totilo describes this game as “chess on crack,” which I think is a pretty great synopsis, although it’s more like “chess on crack and also you get to make the knight hook up with the queen.” MARIO & LUIGI: DREAM TEAM You and I might dream about being naked in class or flying through space; Luigi (blessed be he) dreams about cloning himself to save his brother from monsters. I think it’s safe to say he wins this one.
TALES OF XILLIA Sometimes you’ve just gotta spend a weekend cranking through anime-ish JRPGs with silly plots and button-mashy combat, because they might not be particularly nutritious or meaningful, but hell if they aren’t a good time. THE LAST OF US Yeah, whatever, real original Jason. PICROSS E3 Pretty much a perfect game, other than the fact that you can’t change the background music. KINGDOM RUSH FRONTIERS There is no better game on iOS. I will fight anyone who disagrees.

I absolutely love the game selection here, especially the slot games. The graphics are amazing and the animations are super smooth, making every spin feel exciting and immersive. I've spent hours playing without getting bored!
The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.
The deposit process is smooth and fast. I was able to fund my account instantly and start playing without any hassle. Plus, the multiple payment options make it convenient for everyone regardless of location.
