Sony is easily my favorite Punlisher for their unending dedication to bringing new experiences, and willingness to take chances on games even if their is not a huge apparent audience. In my opinion they do the best job balancing their IP, not over saturating stuff when it succeed, and willingness to give even successful stuff a break to try new things.

Nintendo I appreciate for their ability to create lasting IP, that can truly span all generations. They have made some of my favorite games of all time, and they have a great talent for delivering games that remain enjoyable regardless of the generation or times.

Take Two is easily my favorite 3rd party. They deliver so many games that come from do many different places that they really have something for everyone. To me Take Teo is basically a 3rd party version of Sony. Always willing to try new things, and push the medium to the next level.



Naughty Dog has been my favorite studio since Jak and Daxter. As they progressed to Uncharted they began to extend that lead. Then they went and made what in my book is head and shoulders the best game ever made in The Last of Us. This team is amazing, and I hope they can continue to deliver.

Guerrilla Games has been doing an amazing job with the Killzone franchise for years. The Killzone franchise has been my favorite FPS for a decade, and after playing Killzone 3 in 3D with PlayStation Move, I havr not been able to enjoy any other FPS since on the same level. Noe they went and put them selves side by side with Naughty Dog after the release of Horizon, absolute masterpiece.

Polyphony Digital totally changed my perception of games with the original Gran Turismo. Until then games had always been a cartoon or fantasy setting. When I saw Gran Tutismo the first time it was like a whole new world opened up in my mind. I can not wait for GTS.

Rockstar North, GTA, does anything else need to be said? The ultimate in what can be done with mass amounts of time, money, and man power. It may be as casual as casual gets, but it really is great fun every time, and keepz me coming back for years on each release.

Kojima Productions, Kojima. Metal Gear Solid was a staple of my childhood. I missed MGS on the PS1, and started the series with MGS2. This was the first game I ever sat down and played start to finish, which lasted well over a full day. In my opinion the series got better with each release through MGS4. Some of my kost memorable gaming moments ever Though I really didn't like the latest game, I am still on edge over what is coming with Death Stranding.

In all honesty, there are dozens of development teams I love, and I could go on for days. Games are my life, and have the upmost respect for everyone in the industry. My favorite thing is new experiences, and opening doors to allow people to experience either real life things they could never afford, or fantasy things that can change peoples views on games or life in general.
