Everyone on this site loves Blizzard (or should at least). I'm wondering what your other favourites are. This can be anything. For example, you could say Nintendo or Xbox 360 or PS3. You could also say Valve, Ubisoft, Rockstar, Capcom, etc. I will predict that NOBODY in this thread will say Activision and neither will I. Here are some of my favourites:




[image loading]

Man, these guys could not be stopped in the late 90's-early 2000's. They had Perfect Dark, GoldenEye, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong Country, Conker's Bad Fur Day and one of my favourite video game series of all time, Banjo-Kazooie. Now every game they seem to make is poorly made. Why Rare? Why was Nuts + Bolts so bad?




[image loading]

Have to include these guys. Such great games like Devil May Cry, Mega Man, Marvel vs. Capcom, Street Fighter, Resident Evil and, again one of my personal favs, Dead Rising. They still produce quality games (case in point: RE5) but the Mega Man franchise has been average over the last few installments.




[image loading]

What happened? Sonic, Nights, Alex Kidd. Oh you guys were so good. Too bad that you don't have a home console anymore. Shame. Really had an underrated game in Jet Set Radio.




[image loading]

Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal. Valve is one of my favourites and they make good, quality games.

SUPER SMASH BROTHERS!!!

Anyway, what are your favourites?

Square Enix for making games that can be considered art.

Valve for making the best science fiction games, and half life, the indisputably best single player fps game.

Zynga for keeping non-gamers away from games. May those people never pollute our delicate community.

Intelligent Systems, though they seem to phone it in a lot in my opinion.

Rare was really great back then, I don't know what happened either.

Bungie is pretty cool. Kinda excited to find out more about this:

On April 29th, 2010, Bungie announced that it was entering into a 10-year publishing agreement with publisher Activision Blizzard to bring a new IP to multiple platforms. Under Bungie's agreement with Activision, new intellectual property developed by Bungie will be owned by Bungie, not the publisher, a rare agreement in the video game industry.

Not exactly video games, but Wizards of the Coast does good work. Nintendo used to be awesome, but these days they're selling out to the non-gamer crowd, which is understandable because it makes them a shit-ton of money, but I'm still mad. SSBM is my second favorite game after BW, though...

Creative Assembly for the Total War series.
Valve is pretty self explanatory.

Bioware is pretty much #1 for me. They don't put out a whole lot of games, but anybody who plays pc games should be well aware of their awesomeness. I have lots of faith in them developing The Old Republic into a great mmorpg that will rival WoW.

Is this assuming Activision doesn't just drop it and then file a lawsuit agaisnt Bungie later?

Valve. Simply for Portal and the Half-Life series.
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

Why would you not mention Battletoads?
