Nintendo, of course. They're at the top of my list. Perhaps the top of my overall develops list. Platinum games. They've made some of the best action games I've ever played, and continue to create quality experiences. Level 5: Some of the best Japanese rpg's I've played are from them. They're hit or miss, but when they hit... they hit hard. Capcom: I hate their dlc practices, but do produce some solid games. Konami: Metal Gear, enough said.

Is it just me, or does GameSpot seem to be having a few bugs lately?

Platinum: Bayonetta is the best game in this generation for me. Capcom: just naming Street Fighter, Breath of Fire, Onimusha and Ace Attorney is enough for me. Level 5: Layton, one of the best DS series. Square: Dragon quest, Final series.
