Cubed3 Awards 2013 - Game of the Year and Staff Choices

The votes are in and you've decided which games were your favourite in 2013 across various different categories including Best Graphics, Multiplayer and the much anticipated Game of the Year award.

As we step into 2014, it's well worth remembering the vast number of new and classic experiences on both Nintendo Wii U and 3DS, from the sublime Super Mario 3D World to action-packed Square Enix RPG, Bravely Default, the much anticipated download-only Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies to the hugely addictive Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Alongside the reader vote, the Cubed3 Team also voted for a Staff Choice award whilst scoffing turkey and wine in Bowser's Castle.
