Wait, you'd actually pick God of War over Shadow of the Colossus?

Oh, boy... That's like choosing Donnie Darko over Children of Men. That's just... wrong.

NOTHING beats God of War. Not Resistance, not R&C, not SotC, not Jak, not Uncharted.

1) Santa Monica
2) Team ICO
3) Insomniac (just about)
4) Naughty Dog

All are excellent, though.

They're all excellent developers, that I will agree.

I would classify Soviet Monica's studio more as a "Die Hard" type of studio. Fun to watch, but there's not enough there for me to really respect them. Fun stuff, but not exactly highbrow.

Actually, out of the four you listed, I would put them fourth. If I was allowed to add other Sony developers, they wouldn't even make the top five. It's not a slight on Soviet Monica, it's more of a testament as to how damned good Sony's first/second party development teams really are.

Since when are the GoW developers Communist?

I wasn't aware there were any other excellent Sony developers. Sure, Sucker Punch has made some good stuff, but I wouldn't put them in the same league as these four. I don't suppose you meant SCE Korea?

Yes, they exist. They make (made) EyeToy games.

I suppose Sucker Punch would come in fifth. Never played any of their games, though.

Or maybe Ready at Dawn should come in fifth, just because they're the only people who KNOW HOW TO MAKE A PSP GAME (Except Square Enix and Sony Bend, and those people who made Patapon, SCE Japan)

But Ready at Dawn made a God of War game, and GoW being my favourite series of all time, I'd rank them in fifth. Sucker Punch in sixth, Sony Bend in seventh. Guerilla Games could get up there if KZ2 is good enough.

I'm going to make a thread about this.

Okay, to elaborate, the Soviet Monica phrase is an LA thing. Not a slight on the studio. If you've been to the city, you'd understand the joke.

Other than that, I'd put Polyphony and Media Molecule over Soviet Monica. Which would put Soviet Monica in sixth place overall...

Again, like I said earlier, that's more of a testament to how good Sony's first/second parties are over how good Soviet Monica's studio really is. They all make great games.
