We kicked off our best of the year coverage a little early with our special yesterday, but if you're looking for the real meat and potatoes of this countdown, it begins here.

We reviewed nearly a thousand games in 2013. That's a staggering number no matter how you slice it. But of the thousand or so games we looked at, only twenty could rise to the top and be called best of the year. (well... 20+13, but you already knew that, right?)

But enough jibber jabber. Let's kick things off right. Here are our picks for #20-#15.
