Developer of the Year

“No one expected Metroid Prime to be this good. Hats off to Retro for dealing with the pressure and successfully shutting up the critics (except Dragona).” – Jonathan Metts

“Who would have though that anyone could have made Metroid into a first person game without completely trashing it?” – David Trammell

“You're on crack if you don't hand it to the staff at Retro for cranking out Metroid Prime.” – Ryan Jones

“NOW you can buy import cars and have pool parties once a week. Just don't invite that Jeff guy again."” – Mike Orlando
