I won't rank them because it's just too much to consider so I'll just list 10 that jump out to me personally

-Rockstar: GTA, Red Dead, LA Noire, Max Payne 3. The king of open world games.

-Blizzard: WoW, Starcraft, other Warcrafts, and Diablo make them the most important PC developer in my mind

-Naughty Dog: Just so solid. 4 games every gen that I've enjoyed or am going to enjoy immensely (Crash 1 not so much but I was playing it just this past year so I'm sure it was much better in its time) also making awesome cart racers, open world games, cinematic games, and straight up platformers shows an awesome versatility

-Insomniac: Everything up to All4One was gold. Ratchet is my favorite game series of all time and Resistance 3 is right up there with Half-Life 2 for my favorite shooters ever. Spyro was my second favorite series on PSone next to Crash. I love watching them and ND duke it out for Playstation dominance each gen and can only hope it happens again next gen.

-Sucker Punch: Sly and Infamous are awesome

-Sony Santa Monica: God of War, God of War, God of War. Yeah they're a 1 trick pony but damn that is one AWESOME trick.

-Nintendo (I don't like to count them as one developer because I'm sure it's not always the same people working on their games so that's cheating to put them under one umbrella like that)

-Valve: Not really into Portal or Team Fortress but Half Life is my favorite FPS franchise so they have to be in here

-Konami: MGS. Hated 2 but 3 is still a game I can go back to anytime and not skip a cutscene. Best story in a game in MGS3 and best story in a game series for my money.

-Bethesda: Fallout isn't my cup of tea but Oblivion and Skyrim have been the games I've sunk the most hours into this gen

Dont agree but I guess everybody has an opinion :P

Sorry, but I can't put sony on the list because they're a publisher not a developer.  That is why I had to think about it with Square Enix and Nintendo because they both develope and publish games unless im wrong.

pick a team AT Nintendo though.  They're too big to be one group of guys making MK, SMB, 3d Mario, Zelda, and everything else.

retro simply because they have done something no other developer can do that is bringing two franchises back.

They may have been doing some questionable things recently and their games aren't as good as before, but Capcom deserves a place there. And tri-Ace makes Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile, Square only publishes them.
