The end of the year is always a time of reflection for us here at Gamezebo, as we think back on all of the wonderful new gaming experiences that made the last 12 months such a blast to game through. But let's be honest: all of these amazing video games wouldn't even exist if it weren't for the many technologies that are made to run them on! And as our beloved community moves even deeper into the digital age, those new gaming technologies only get more advanced and futuristic (and by default, more insanely awesome).So we decided that it would only be fitting to take a look back at some of the greatest new technologies of gaming that were introduced on the market in 2013. From a full-fledged 3D virtual reality gaming helmet, to a Minority Report-like device that lets you game with in-air gestures, to the first home-based console that would bring Android-powered gaming to your TV screen, it's clear that we've come quite a long way from the simple days of Pong. So without further ado, here are the 5 pieces of new tech that we thought were particularly great in 2013."
We're really in the homestretch of 2013 now, and it's been quite a good year for those of us in the gaming world. Don't believe me? Then you should probably check out our ongoing lists of what we thought were the very best games to come out over the last 12 months. But just because we're knee-deep in all of this gaming reflection, that doesn't mean we're not also looking ahead to see what awesome new games that 2014 is going to bring!If 2014 winds up being even half as great as 2013 was for gaming, then I think it's safe to say that we're going to be in for some truly unforgettable experiences in the very near future: but something tells me that 2014 is going to be even better. After all, when you've got new games from both the makers of Super Meat Boy and Bastion coming up on the horizon, how can it not be anything short of glorious? So in that case, here are a few of the biggest games that we absolutely cannot wait to play in 2014."
If 2013 proved anything to us, it's this: video games get better every year. For our year-end retrospective, we decided that we'd try something different this year: we'd pick the top 20 games from everything we covered this year to select the very best.But the list was too good to contain it to just twenty games.So with the year 2013 coming to a close, we thought it fitting to select the best 20+13 games. We're still going to count down the top twenty - but before we do, we wanted to mention thirteen tremendously good games that were deserving of your attention this year. They didn't quite make the top 20, but if there's a single game in our +13 you've missed, now's the time to fix that.

Buy this deal now and you'll still have an extra $5 to use for kindling.
Indie game developer Tale of Tales launched a bundle to commemorate a decade of game development. Unlike most bundles, the "Experiments and Prototypes Bundle" features some of Tale of Tales' unreleased game prototypes. All income generated by the bundle will go into Tale of Tales' next project. Tale of Tales was founded in 2003 by Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn. Focused more on creating art, rather than a game, the pair always make it a point to release their titles online and for an inexpensive price."As designers we hope that videogames can be as diverse and meaningful as any other medium," Tale of Tales explains on their website. "We want to create playful experiences that appeal to both gamers and non-gamers. We try to design expressive interfaces to access engaging poetic narratives through simple controls."
In the recent Ludum Dare 28 game jam and competition, thousands of developers submitted their games as a show of skill, in pride of what they accomplished during the 48-hour competition or the 72-hour game jam. One of those games is UndergroundPixel's Christmas Cookie Craze, a fun (and festive) platformer.The theme for Ludum Dare 28 was "You Only Get One" and UndergroundPixel wove the theme into their game by making it the game's catalyst. In Christmas Cookie Craze, Santa comes home to the North Pole after delivering presents all night, eager to sit down and relax with milk and cookies. For whatever reason, Santa's pesky elves decided that he can only have one cookie. Understandably, the big guy is a bit upset and so he goes on the hunt for any cookie-hoarding elf he can get his hands on.
Blackguards developer Daedalic Entertainment recently released a trailer for their turn-based strategy game, showcasing the praise the game is receiving from the community. Blackguards is currently participating in Steam's Early Access program, allowing interested gamers to jump into the current pre-release build of the game, in order to provide feedback to the developers at Daedalic Entertainment. In a press release issued to media outlets, Daedalic Entertainment Senior Producer, Kai Fiebig, said, "To us, the Early Access has been very beneficial. We gathered a lot of important and constructive fan-feedback during the first weeks of Early Access and will add features according to the feedback until the game's release."One of the biggest changes Daedalic Entertainment has planned is the implementation of advanced character customization options.
