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?

Why would you not mention Battletoads?


I could have mentioned loads of Rare games. Viva Pinata, Jet Force Gemini, Star Fox Adventures (remember that one?), Grabbed by the Ghoulies, etc.

I adored Rare back in the day when they were still with Nintendo. A lot of fans of Rare will tell you that as soon as they made the switch to 360, everything went to hell.

BattleToads still rules though

I think I'm go with Ensemble. AoE2, AoM were all amazing games that I played thoroughly :>

not as unique with units but still amazingly fun.

To pick a developer that isn't too famous.. I'll pick "Pixel Junk" Look 'em up!

I would pick bioware, due to Baldurs gate.. But they went mainstream with dragonage, so now i kinda hate 'em :<

Black Isle Studios - Planescape: Torment and the first two Fallout games are the best RPGs ever.

Capcom for Zelda games. Fucking awesome. Great Wii Zelda games especially twilight princess.

Nintendo wins it for me, they make the most consistently good games and have the best new ideas.

If I had to pick a favourite PC developer though I would have picked Blizzard a few months ago but now I'd have to pick Valve.

Super Metroid, Super Mario World, A Link the the Past, Super Mario Bros 1-3, Zelda, Metroid, Super Mario 64, Saving the entire industry, Majoras Mask, Ocarina of Time, Super Mario Galaxy 1-2, Wind Waker, Earthbound Super Mario Sunshine, Kirby, Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart Metroid Fusion, Mother 3, Metroid Zero Mission etc etc etc.

Yeah, Nintendo are the best. Even though I don't like the company in itself.

Atlus.
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is the best jrpg I've ever played. That and Persona 3.

Konami
MGS, Castlevania, Suikoden and much more.


And everything that's already mentioned here like valve and bioware.

My favorite by far has to be Team Ico. Shadow of the Colossus is simply the best game I've ever played and is my favorite game ever.

Also a fan of Bioware, but to a much lesser degree. Played KotoR and Mass Effect and occasionally go back to play them sometimes.

And I have to say ArenaNet. Played Guild Wars since release and logged well over 5k hrs into it.
