Infinity Ward

After COD4 almost every shooter wanted to be like COD, which resulted in a mass of twisted IP's and a whole lot of boring-ass COD4 copies -_-

Note: I really LOVE COD4, but it got out of control....

Either Infinity ward or treyarch this generation. So many games tried to copy the success of call of duty but so many games wanted to put a zombies mode in too.

But ever, it has to be nintendo they pretty much revived the gaming industry after the 1983 crash

Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.
