      Who are your top 5 favourite game developing company?

      Those who are into gaming, who are the game developers that you trust in making quality games?

      I'll start with it.

      5. Creative Assembly - Total War Series
      4. Atlus - Shin Megami Series
      3. Smilebit - Jet Set Radio, Panzer Dragoon Orta
      2. Level 5 - Dark Cloud, Dragon Quest VIII
      1. Bioware - Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights
      And if I had wheels, I'd be a wagon.

      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.

      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.
      Surrender your flesh. We demand it.

      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.

      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.

      soft she stirs on starlit sand,
      and clasps wet shore within her hand.
      she turns to face the silent seas,
      and through her heart, a vital breeze.
      she wonders at this strange new land.
