THE ARCADE AWARDS 2013 – WINNERS

Two weeks, over 20,000 votes, these have been the biggest Arcade Awards to date and before you scroll down to see all the winners, I personally just want to congratulate all those nominated and of course the winners but I also want to thank those who voted – from the start these have always been about what our readers wanted and you nominate the individuals, products and companies in each category as well as pick the overall winner.

As with the nominees, the winners can avail of this ribbon banner for their site/social media profiles:

This year we’ve also added an Arcade Writers Selection across five categories: Best Game / Movie / Publication / Single / Purchase and the results of this will be published later today!

It might seem a little odd talking about the Arcade Awards 2014 but I have seen the criticisms and grievances people had with the selection process but next year there will be some changes and that’s down to you sharing your opinions. It’s important to all of us here at the Arcade that your voice is heard but that’s next year and right now it’s time to celebrate and congratulate the winners of 2013 so without further adieu, the winners of the Arcade Awards 2013:
