Year context
How the year played out
2013 resolved as a clear aggregate win for The Last of Us, though Grand Theft Auto V kept the year competitive through reader votes and several major public-facing awards. The Last of Us led the overall and editorial tables and added D.I.C.E., GDC, NAVGTR, SXSW, and the New York Game Awards, while GTA V answered with VGX and Golden Joystick. BioShock Infinite formed the main third lane, with Super Mario 3D World and Gone Home marking the strongest alternatives outside the two-game race.
