Welcome to the first Games of the Month for 2013!  We still have 11 months to go before our next annual best of round-up, but if January is any indication, it looks like we’re all set for another amazing year.

Before starting this review, I spent a good ten minutes trying to decide how best to categorize Act 1 of Kentucky Route Zero. That was a complete and total waste of time. This is not the kind of game that can be neatly placed in a box, which will make it something of a pain to own if you ever move to a different house. But you need to get over that, because we may well have an early contender for 2013’s game of the year on our hands.
