[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] As godly as Rogue Leader 2 was, it was clear as day by Rogue Squadron 3 that they were running out of ideas. I mean the f*cking battle of hoth AGAIN? AGAIN? They were fantastic games, but man did they use the license in some lame ways beyond all the cool ships you got to use.

Anyway my pick is Bizarre Creations, because I don't care much for racing games, but PGR 4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>like all of them this gen. That game was awesome.

Rare: Contrary to the idiot collective of System Wars who insist on being wrong all the time. Rare actually did plenty of good stuff under microsoft. Viva Pinata was f*cking awesome, and I adore what Nuts and Bolts was doing. And now they are the Kinect Sports company. *sigh*

Starbreeze: Escape from Butcher Bay would make a pretty damn good case for having one of the all time best FPS campaigns, and I love what they did with the original Darkness. And then they made Syndicate. I'm gonna assume it's all downhill from here.

For Starbreeze,most of the original team left for MachineGames,so thats why they haven,t been the same.

Sweet, they make anything yet? Although Starbreeze was a way better name.

Doesn't seem like it. They agot bought by Bethesda, though.

Definitely interested. That Rage engine is pretty sweet for a console engine. That gameplay in Rage felt so sharp. Starbreeze always has some interesting takes on first person combat. At least with Butcher Bay, with Darkness they had some neat ideas, but they kept it pretty toned down compared to the crazier take that was The Darkness 2.

Didn't Digital Extremes make the second one, though?

Yeah,and their take was a more fun playing game. The "quad wielding" controlled beautifully, and the grotesque nature of the Darkness kills was incredibly satisfying. Plus I love a game that makes me feel stronger as I go further into it. That said Starbreeze had a better done story by far. The ending to the original Darkness is lovely.

I should pick the second one up at some point. Maybe one day the original will be on Steam so I can actually own it.

Sacred 3 is being made by Keen Games, should be out sometime in 2013.
