It's been a good year for all kinds of entertainment. From the release of two high profile next-gen consoles, to the avalanche of current gen blockbusters and indie treasures, the video game industry delivered more high quality content than we've seen in many years. The return of franchise powerhouses like Grand Theft Auto, Lara Croft, and Zelda was bolstered by surprising, non-traditional experiences from the likes of Device 6 and Gone Home. Putting all those diverse games up against one another makes this year's Game of the Year vote particularly interesting.

Things were no less amazing in movie theaters. From the next chapters in the Hobbit and Hunger Games' trilogies to the revitalization of Disney animation with Frozen. You can check out the rest of our Movies of the Year yourself.

On our televisions, we had to say goodbye to Breaking Bad, but we also had the chance to welcome in provocative new series like Masters of Sex and Orange is the New Black. The continued success of Game of Thrones, Mad Men, and The Walking Dead show just how diverse and powerful television can be. We got a full list of the Best TV Shows of the Year.

2013 was also a great year for fans of comics. While the reliance on cross-title events was nothing new, Age of Ultron and New 52 offered lots to fans of comic's most established brands. Even the smaller stories, like those told in Daredevil and Hawkeye, had comic fans sitting up and taking notice. You can check out the awards for Best Comics of the Year and Best Tech of the Year on those pages as well.
