Thread: Who are your top 5 favourite game developing company?

1. Running with Scissors - Made Postal the best game ever
2. Duplex System - Made FOM than went bankrupt
3. Trauma Studios- Made desert combat mod than got bought out by EA
4. ID - Made return to Caste Wolfenstein which spurred Enemy Territory and now they made a really fun futuristic adaption to it. And they get extra props for releasing there stuff on linux with 0 DRM
5. Westwood - makers of C&C although I think it got bought out

Games that still bring a tear to my eye in their awesomeness

1. Postal - DAMNIT why did they have to ruin it with that horrible movie!
2. FOM (god i miss you so much)
3. DC - Why did EA have to screw it up
4. Enemy Territory - Oh the time i wasted on trying to get general
5. C&C Red alert - One of the first games I ever played on the PC

PS: btw make sure you don't mention activision, EA, THQ, etc. Those are publishers they don't make the games.

1. Criterion Games - Burnout
2. EA - Burnout, SimTunes
3. Insomniac Games - Ratchet and Clank, Spyro the Dragon
4. Namco - Ridge Racer
5. UbiSoft - S.C.A.R.S.

Umm...

1) Valve

That is all.

In my oppinion the best is - Travelers Tales. the really retro company, i think it disbanded

Bungie - Halo series
Valve - Portal
The Behemoth - Castle crashers (hopefully series)
Pandemic Studios, Locomotive Games and Sandblast Games - Destroy All Humans! series.
NC soft - Guild wars (2 will be amazing!)

Those are in no particular order.

Rockstar, Activision, EA Games (pretty obvious what I play, huh?)

Valve and Bioware have both been mentioned and I must second those choices.

Valve and Blizzard. Those are the only two I really like.

Valve never EVER ceases to deliver with their titles.

Blizzard has made some incredible games (WC3, SC, Diablo II) and is making sequels to those games, but it ranks second to Valve due to the atrocity of WOW. Plus Valve is just too damn cool.

Blizzard (warcraft, starcraft, and diablo. duh)

EA Games (Battlefield 1942 and 2142)

Valve (The CS & HL we all know and love)

Westwood (Command and Conquer series)

Well, I haven't been into gaming lately, so I don't really have a top 5.

I do have a top 1, though. I'd probably buy every game that's going to come out (except for the pay-to-play games) made by Blizzard Entertainment (so can you imagine my nerdgasm when first they announce Starcraft II, and but a few little months later another sequel (this time to my most favourite game ever): Diablo III?)

So yeah... Here's my list:

1. Blizzard Entertainment
2.
3.
4.
5.

Agreed. Also, Level 5 because of the magnificence of Dark Cloud, which I'm still praying for a third sequel to.

In no specific order...

Valve (Half Life 1,2; Team Fortress 2; Portal)
Bioware (Jade Empire, Knights of the Old Republic series, Mass Effect)
Bungie (Halo 1,2,3)
Rockstar (GTA 1,2,3,4; Bully; Max Payne 1,2; Manhunt 1,2; Midnight Club)
Ubisoft Montreal (Splinter Cell series; Prince of Persia series; Assassin's Creed; Rainbow Six: Vegas 1,2; Far Cry Instincts: Evolution)

Honorable Mention
Bethesda Softworks (Elder Scrolls III & IV)
Activision (Call of Duty series, Tony Hawk series, Pitfall!, Guitar Hero II&III)

Agree with you on a good amount of those, but Assasin's Creed? I found that game to horribly repetitive, and plain annoying at times, I got to around the part where the merchant king or whoever tries to poison everyone at his party, then quit. Was borinnnnng

Yeah it was repetative gameplay-wise, but it was still a really good game.
Beautiful, original, interesting and with a great story.

Bungie (Halo)
id (Doom)
Nintendo (Mario)
Kanami (Contra)
Rare (Snake Rattle n Roll)
