Game of the Year

The cat is finally out of the back. The overall GameSpot pick for Game of the Year 2013 is the Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

　　

A Link Between Worlds is a stunning masterpiece that's so consistently rewarding, so unexpected, and so gosh darn fun that even thinking of it makes us giddy all over again. -Tom McShea

Many editors have called this game a masterpiece. This game is fantastic and should be tried out by everyone. After hearing about this game for weeks, I am buying my own copy this weekend. You should too. Congratulations, Nintendo.
