http://www.develop100.com/ thats a cool site if u wanna see there the studios are located.

And ill go with canada! being bias of course. :)

That is a cool site. I only have a couple problems with it:

Develop 100 ranks the world's games development studios based on the revenues their products made at UK retail in 2007.

Seems a little restricted in scope.

I personally prefer the US studios because of games like Half Life 2, Halo 3, and, Gears of War but I'm biased for x360 games so my opinion doesn't matter as much as people who have played everything.

Rockstar - US? most of the good Rockstar games come from the UK and Rockstar originated in the UK if Im not mistaken.

Red Dead Revolver and Midnight Club (or whatever Rockstar's racing franchise is called, I forget) is in San Diego.

GTA series is UK.
