Great thread. :)

My personal list.

Epic:

These guys have done themselves very proud. They have released not only a new IP this gen but managed to put a sequel out as well. Both have hit amazing sales for a new IP, and also twicw shown us how brilliant they are with graphics. Also they pretty much made all other TPS feel horrible with controls. They have single handidly shown all other devs how 3rd person controls are supposed to be done. Very impressed with Epic this gen.

Lionhead:

I knew Fable 2 would be an improvement over 1, but how good I wasnt really expecting. Considering Fable 2 is my number 2 game this gen shows how much they have achieved. I am very looking forward to their hush hush project which is rumored to be out this fall.

Bioware:

Another new IP, and another amazing game. So far Bioware sit 3rd for me. But that may all change if MAss Effect goes on to stomp all over the original. They have really suceeded in making what I feel is the first proper free flowing space RPG. They have always been a skilled dev, but they surpassed themselves in this gen with for me at least their best work yet.

Runner up (honourable mention)

Insomniac:

OK so none of their games this gen would be in my top 10. But Res 1 & 2 as well as R&C are all solid good games. They have released 3 games on PS3 all within 2 years. A very good feat if you ask me considering none of their games were crap.

Nice list, imma gonna steal it :P Except I'd replace Insomniac with Naughty Dog. Resis 2 was crappy.
