Google's 15 Best Android Games Of 2013

It's the end of the year, and that means for one brief, shining moment, one Google Play gaming category will make perfect sense. These are Google Play's editor's picks for the top Android games of 2013.

rymdkapsel grapefrukt games $3.99 This marvelous, minimalistic real-time strategy game was one of Stephen Totilo's favorite games this year.

Rayman Fiesta Run Ubisoft $2.99 Another practically perfect platformer for Rayman about covers it.

10000000 EightyEight Games $1.99 A fantastic puzzle RPG that I could not put down when it hit the iPhone last year.

Anomaly 2 11 bit studios $1.99 The sequel to 11 bit studios' smash-hit reverse tower defense game did well on mobile this year.

Heroes of Dragon Age Electronic Arts Free A collectible card-type game with animated battles, this only came out a few weeks ago, and I wasn't too fond of it.

DragonVale Backflip Studios Free Avoid this game if you ever want to spend a single waking moment not thinking about dragon breeding again.

Asphalt 8: Airborne Gameloft $.99 One of the best racing games on any platform in 2013, at least by my accounting.

Containment: The Zombie Puzzler Bootsnake Games $1.99 The zombie apocalypse has never been so orderly and logical. This is an amazingly well-presented game.

Dots Playdots, Inc. Free One of the most addictive mobile games of the year, this one got tons of mainstream attention. More dots.

Into the Dead PikPok Free You aren't supposed to endlessly run into the misty, zombie-filled forest, yet here we are.

Clash of Clans Supercell Free Massively multiplayer online strategy games came into their own this year, and Clash of Clans is living, profitable proof.

Juice Cubes Rovio Stars Free A fruit-based match-three puzzle game I have not played? *downloads immediately*

Plants Vs. Zombies 2 Popcap Free Never heard of this one. Must be new.

The Blockheads Noodlecake Studios Free It pays to be an unofficial 2D version of Minecraft.

FIFA 14 EA Sports Free Soccer is really popular, it seems.
