2005 Best Company: Cryptic Studios
 advertisement  City of Heroes hit retail shelves in 2004, but over the course of the year, Cryptic Studios continued to tweak and expand content in their debut hit-title. Unlike most companies, Cryptic has never done a retail expansion. Instead they release "Issues", which are smaller, free-expansions. Since launch in April of 2004, they had released six new issues of the game, with issues three, four, five and six coming out in 2005. Just after new year they released Issue 3: Council of War, which introduced more PvE content. A month later came the PvP update of Issue 4: Colosseum. On September 1st, they upped the PvE-ante again with Issue 5: Forest of Dread. Finally, Issue 6: Along Came a Spider hit at the same time as City of Villains and introduced a wealth of cross-over PvP content, including competitive PvP zones, base building and raiding options and much more. These are the reasons why we chose Cryptic Studios as the best MMORPG developer of 2005.
