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

Mario is one impressive fellow. It was tough choosing between Mario 64 and Feel the Magic XY/XX, but Mario won out in the end because of its brilliant use of faux surround. From the moment that star flies around on-screen, you'll hear what the DS is capable of producing. Hopefully more DS titles can use the surround feeling as well as Mario 64 does.
