Our second annual Louie Awards are finally done. See what our staff picked for the best and worst of 2002.

Game of the Year – GameCube
Metroid Prime
“I cannot wait for a sequel to this must-own game for 2002.” – Ryan Jones
“After Mario 64, probably the most impossibly successful 2D to 3D transfer of a series ever.” – Justin Nation
"The boss battles alone are enough reason to buy this game.” – Billy Berghammer
"Retro fought a lot of adversity to make Metroid's first foray into a 3D world as perfect as possible, and fate simply wouldn't be denied.” – Rick Powers
“I maintained an open mind about Metroid Prime even when details were vague, but nothing prepared me for what we received.” – Daniel Bloodworth
“Game of the Year? How about Game of All Time?” – David Trammell
Runner Up: Super Mario Sunshine
