The Gist - 5 Awesome Games Of 2013 You Probably Didn't Play

@AggrandizedUser

Guess I'm from gamespot....now I want to know why they aren't sending me checks.

First of all, nice shoulders! My favourite game of 2013 I suppose it's The Last Of Us. At the same time I found it extremely boring and overrated. But it's the only 2013 game I played, so that makes it candidate for all categories. :P

Jess Mcdonell, we the NARUTO FANS are ecstatic that you had the Naruto Poster on the wall! I used to have that exact one too. Please use a different Naruto Poster. Now that I think about it, you can use the interesting posters as a motif on your show. Not sure if that was the case before, but at least I noticed it now with the Kakashi and his dogs on the Naruto Poster. I want to see Madara on your next show!!!

Puppeteer looks interesting. I've never even heard of it until now.

I will definitely be picking up a copy.

Great show, Jess!

Almost got Don't Starve recently but realized it didn't have coop..... I don't really have time for another minecraft/ Terraria type game if I can't play with my friends

It's funny, and I'll admit not just a little fetching, to see you wearing tank tops as it is the dead of winter here in the States. I forget that your seasons are basically opposite our own. Must be hot over there. I always love your vids, keep it up! And since I never played Brothers, thank you also for making me spend more money...

Ni No Kuni

dont starve is pretty well known.. and id buy it if i wasnt waiting for a price reduction

yup, just watched the video again and jess is definitely Iron Maiden's Eddie's identical twin. :D

Guacamelee is a steal for $15 and really is the embodiment of the term "Metroidvania".

Puppeteer is a classic that should be in every gamer's library. It may look cutesy and aimed at kids but it's reasonably challenging and a lot of fun. There are enough extras hidden within the stages to give it great replay value. For that matter Rayman Legends fits the same description.

The Swapper and Brothers on Steam sale right now!!

(Lost In The) Rain, by Japan Studio

The Swapper, oh wow. I am so glad you mentioned the game imbalance, but I cannot quite stress how quickly the game moves from "Ah, this is a neat little puzzle" to mind-bending difficulty and then back again... and then back again.

Not saying it's a bad game, but a hard one to play for any prolonged length of time (much like Antichamber).

I played Guacamelee and am still working my way through Puppeteer.

Both very good games.

Loved Don't Starve. Still playing

Damnit. I came for an article and got a video. It's just so much easier to skim the bullshit in an article. And then there's the ADD thing.

I feel that the Wii U has sold enough systems that Mario 3D World and Pikmin 3 could have made this list. Those games were both excellent.

Finally an article on GS that actually talks about some games from 2013 worthy of some real praise. I had all of these minus Puppeteer on my potential GOTY list.

Also worthy of mention IMHO are:

Ni No Kuni

Wonderful 101

Monster Hunter 3 Ult

Rogue Legacy

Beautiful. Great game picks too. Sleeper hits for sure.

Guacamelee ! was my GOTY !

I give puppeteer and Guacamelee two thumbs way up! Don't Starve infuriated me, I no longer have the patience for such difficult games. I should give Brother and maybe the Swapper a try.

Antichamber! Definitely feel like it was overlooked, but isn't exactly the most accessible game. The subtle 'story' elements really hit home, too. <3

I played Don't Starve but kept dying :( Loved the art style though. Like if Tim Burton made a video game.

Really want to play Guacamelee, Brothers, and The Swapper now though

Got Brothers bookmarked until my list of purchased but not yet played games (including Swapper) diminishes. Puppeteer was fun, but didn't leave much of an impression.

Where is Battlefield 4: China Rising?

#upset

Is that a parody shirt for the watchmen/super mario? love the shirt though. Really cool games as well. That is what the shirt looks like to me, the Comedian from the watchmen's smiley face with blood on it changed to a classic mario mushroom.

@sol_invictus55 dont pay attention to him, he is a homophobic bigot

@sol_invictus55

Oh dear, someone's patience finally ran dry. ;P

@canuckbiker @sol_invictus55

Take your own advice you shitbag

I need that shirt. Where do all you British Gamespotters buy your shirts cuz between you, Danneh, or Jonneh you all give me a bad case of t-shirt envy

Jess, not a bad segment but whoever is telling you to show more and more skin is not looking out for your best interest.

Nice collection, Jess. :)

@sol_invictus55 How about not acting like a piece of human garbage just because your on the internet, you classless loser.
