DDNet's Games of the year 2013: PlayStation Vita Game of the Year

A couple of months ago we asked you to vote on your favourite games of the year (up to the end of October, except for the blockbuster of the year award, which is still running now on the site). You've voted and now, in the coming weeks, we will unveil the results.

The process: Earlier in the year we asked you, our readers, to rank nine different games per category in order of preference (or how interested you are in a game, if you haven't played it before). We have taken those rankings, averaged them up, and the resulting list below are the top four games - three runners up and the winner.

The Vita might not be setting the sales charts alight, but that's not from a lack of game quality. The Vita has some truly incredible games available on it... provided you're willing to look beyond AAA-grade games for smaller and independent releases.

Nothing beats Christmas; it's the time for fun and play, for family and friends. It's the chance to get away from work and reset the batteries. And, of course, it's the perfect time to knock off some of those games that you just haven't been able to get around to.

As is tradition for Digitally Downloaded we're going to count down the 24 games of Christmas - one a day for each day from December 1 through to December 24. The fun, the silly and the crazy, these games have been custom picked by the DDNet editorial team to give you plenty of ideas for stocking fillers, games to play with family and friends on Christmas Eve, or games you should use the extra time over the holiday to get stuck into.
