RESULTS ARE IN!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Giantbomb Community GotY for 2013, we had a pretty big turnout this time around.
The game's people liked this year tended to be much more spread out, with much less consensus on what games to include on their lists and what place on their list they should be.
The scores underneath each game's description show the percentage distribution of scores. IE in the first spot is percentage of people who scored it #1, so on and so forth.
In addition, in the comments directly beneath this post, I will be putting an "alternative" interpretation of the list results.
WITHOUT FURTHER ADO:
