Trey Walker/News Editor, PC Games
"While Civilization III is my favorite game of the year, I think the game that best represents 2001 is Max Payne."

Ryan Davis/Associate Managing Editor
"After finishing Luigi's Mansion, I realized that there weren't many games left for me to play."
 |
Greg Kasavin/Executive Editor, PC Games
"Every year, some of the best games turn out to be the ones that no one really seemed to have much hope for--let alone know about."

Shahed Ahmed/News, Video Games
"Whether it's on the Xbox, PS2, or GameCube, you will have to pay to play online console games--get very comfortable with the idea."

Jeff Gerstmann/Executive Editor, Video Games
"Am I asking too much when I ask for games that are longer without feeling artificially lengthened by backtracking, leveling up, or other contrived gameplay-extending methods?"
 |
Amer Ajami/Senior Editor, PC Games
"I'm already looking ahead to next year, and specifically, to some truly blockbuster PC games."
 |
Dave Toole/Senior Producer
"People don't realize that there are legitimate reasons for the differences in screenshot quality, and I am going to take some time to try to explain them here."

Shane Satterfield/Features Editor, Video Games

Joe Fielder/Site Director
