Hey everyone, My favourite game developers of all time in order are:
1. Blizzard:I must have spent a great deal of my life playing Warcraft 2, Starcraft, and Diablo 1, and 2. I feel there games are innovative and almost set a bar that everyone is trying to reach. Take for example, Silicon Knights talking about Diablo 2 and WOWC at various points throughout there GDC press conference. Looking forward to Starcraft 2!! You get your money's worth every single time with Blizzard, its a pity they don’t get into the console market.2.
Square Enix:Final Fantasy 7! Final Fantasy 8! Crono Trigger! XenoGears! What can I say; many of the best games I ever played as a kid were developed by Square. In fact, I am currently playing Crono Cross on my PSP which is bringing back some memories. In terms of JRPG's they have set the bar pretty high and I find it amazing how in every game they manage to innovate something that is so simple to play.
3. BioWare:I like BioWare for the story in their games. Although they may be relatively new, they have created some masterpieces. KOTOR and now Mass Effect are truly games that you don’t see every day. From the action mechanics to the story, they provide the full package for RPG’s. I look forward to the next batch of games they create for the PS3 and Mass Effect (Fix the frame rate)!
4. Techmo (Team Ninja):God damn can Ryu chop the s**t out of people. Ninja Gaiden was by far my favourite game of last generation. Good story but most of all the best game play mechanics I have ever used for any game period! For me to put them at number 4 for one game is pretty ridiculous but I feel for the Action genre they produce the best games.
5. Bungie and Valve:Halo and Counterstrike, no need to say more. I don’t think I really need to justify this at all as both game franchises have sold millions and millions of copies around the world. Really, they have redefined the FPS genre for both PC and Console gaming.
Honourable Mentions:
Capcom: Street Fighter, DMC, Megaman
Konami: MGS Series, Winning 11 Series
Electronic Arts: I work for them so I should put them on here!!!! Hehe, best sports games year after year.
Thoughts?!?!?!
