All the buzz on the year that was. It's our 2004 Louie Awards.

A brilliant soundtrack accompanied one of the most anticipated games of the year, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Eerie themes set the tone wonderfully and the effects are to die for, putting this games heads and shoulders above its competition. Although some portions were re-used from the original Prime, it didn’t stop the sequel from establishing itself as an opus of audio.
