No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…
2013 is off to a great start, but first, we took a look back and highlighted some of the best games of 2012 in our second annual Golden Pixel Awards. Spoiler alert: We loved Mass Effect 3 a lot.
If you’re interested, we also did a smaller look back at 2012, specifically What We Played in December 2012. And continuing this theme, a look forward at The Games of January 2013.
