Our second annual Louie Awards are finally done. See what our staff picked for the best and worst of 2002.
Sleeper Hit – GameCube
Animal Crossing
“I've never ever had a video game as addictive as this one.” – Mike Sklens
“...it is just bizarre how it works its way into your life with such ease.” – Justin Nation
“It’s amazing how one game can make a staff of over 20 writers and editors disappear within moments.” – Billy Berghammer
"While not for everyone, Animal Crossing is one of the only games ever made where you can expect to find something new to do every day.” – Rick Powers
“There’s no reason planting fruit, buying furniture, or writing letters with a controller should be fun, but somehow Nintendo has managed to make it not just fun, but terribly addictive as well.” – Daniel Bloodworth
Runner Up: Eternal Darkness
