This is in no specific order. I will aslo be more than happy to change these if you give me a reason. I did not put developers with only one good series unless it had an absolute reason.
EPIC GAMES
With the brilliant team at EPIC Games including Cliff Bleszinki and Rod Ferusson (Who are no longer with EPIC Games) they have made 1 hit game afeter another. Not only that but they have changed the genre of TPS forever with Gears of War. Gears of War was believed to be the 1st real new generation game for Xbox 360 and it definitely showed. It would be one of the games that changed gaming for years to come. Even Horde mode has been used for years brought by you know it, Gears of War. I'm pretty sure you guys have heard of a little thing called Unreal Engine as well.
Games list
Jazz Jackrabbit
Age of Wonders
Unreal Tournament
Gears of War
Shadow Complex
Infinity Blade
Bulletstorm
(Upcoming game) Fortnite
Rockstar
These guys are brilliant as weel with blockbuster games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. In fact have they made a bad game this generation at all? And just like Gears of War for EPIC Games we could say the same with Grand Theft Auto. It gave us a new genre called sandbox. One thing is for sure though, whether it is Grand Theft auto or Max Payne, we will pay attention if it has Rockstar on the cover.
Game List
Bully
Grand Theft Auto
Midnight Club
Manhunt
The Warriors
Red Dead Redemption
L.A. Noire
Max Payne
(Upcoming game) Agent
Blizzard
Another company that can do no wrong. In fact they have brought the insanley addicting World of Warcraft. The game that seems it will never die. This is the staple for MMO gaming. Personally I have never played it, but regardless I have respect for a company that can do what it has with World of Warcraft.
Game List
World of Warcraft
Starcraft
Diablo
Warcraft
Valve
Valve you have brought us Halflife, Portal, hats, Glados, Gabe Newell, and Steam. I can't say that their is a company that is more respected in the game industry from it's fans more than Valve fans. I can't really blame them as Valve seems like 1 of the few game companies that are here to press forward on giving gamers good discounts and good games. Still no Half-life 3 as of yet.....
Game list
Half-life
Team Fortress
Day of Defeat
Counterstrike
Gary's Mod
Portal
Left 4 Dead
Dota
(Upcoming Game 2033 release date) Half-life 3
Naughty Dog
A long with EPIC Games this is probably my personal favorite company. I mean this company literally does no wrong. Nothing they come out with is bad. Not a long list but I think the list will speak for its self.
Game List
Crash Bandicoot
Jak & Daxter
Uncharted
(Upcoming game) The Last of Us
Rare
The once golden child for Nintendo. This company has so many articles about them it isn't even funny. In fact people criticise them a lot now because of they think they have went down hill. Honestly this is false. They still make good games to this day. The only difference is they are no longer revolutionary. Maybe not as good as they once were but still a great company none the less. Let's look at the list
Game List
Blast Corps
Golden Eye
Diddy Kong Racing
Banjo Kazooie
Donkey Kong 64
Donkey Kong Country
Conkers Bad Fur Day
Star Fox
Killer Instict
Gabbed by the Ghoulies
Perfect Dark
Sabre Wulf
Kameo
Viva Pinata
Kinect Sports
(Upcoming Game Rumored) Rise NeXbox
Id Software
Id Software with John Carmack has been the pioneers of the game industry or at least the FPS genre. If it wasn't for Id Software we could even argue that their would be no Valve or EPIC Games. Now that is a big deal.
List of Games
Doom
Wolfenstein
Rage
Quake
(Upcoming Game) Doom 4
Nintendo
What haven't they made that?
Game List
Metroid
Donkey Kong
Mario
Zelda
Pikmin
Kid Icarus
Luigi's Mansion
And this list goes on and on
Bioware
I'm sure this will be a controversial decision but this may be the rising developer of this generation They have gained a lot of fans and well maybe lost a few but in the end they make great games with massive universes. They have proven to be good early on and most likely will gain more respect in the coming years.
List of games
Baldur's Gate
MDK
Neverwinter Nights
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Jade Impact
Mass Effect
Dragon Origin
(Upcoming Game) Dragon Age III
Bungie
Honestly their is only one reason to put Bungie on this list, and it is because they have reolutionized FPS and online gaming for consoles forever. Without Halo it could be argued that FPS, Online Gaming, and XBOX 360 would not be here today so because of Halo Bungie has to be on this list.
Game List
Marathon
Myth
Oni
Halo
(Upcoming Game) Destiny
