Voodoo Extreme offers up their list of the best that 2004 had to offer. We agree with most of their conclusions, but not all. Best new developer is Crytek, with their masterpiece Far Cry. This was a no-brainer since the game was clearly one of the year's best (and hardest!), while almost no one saw it coming. Our favorite kind of title. World of Warcraft has great sound, but we have to disagree that it had the best sound of the year. We'd award that to Half-Life 2. Speaking of awards, we'll have our own Top 5 lists right here on December 28th. Each of the main Joystiq writers will throw in their two cents, starting with the ever-calm, cool and collected James.
