There are many great developers out there. A few of which have a near perfect track record of quality, production values, and fun. then again, there are other developers whose products vary from masterworks to shovelware.

So here's the question:

If you saw a new game box, and all you saw on the box was the words: "A -------- Production," what would you fill the gap with to make the game a guarantee purchase?

Blizzard or Valve. I would have said Capcom a generation ago, not now though.

For me you could fill that with either Bioware, Valve or Remedy. All 3 have never made a game I didn't enjoy very much. Heck between the three of them they made 4 of my top 10 favorite games.

a developer with a perfect track record doesn't mean they make games I like or that they even take risks though

I would sooner support a dev that had a few flops but actually tries to do something outside of their comfort zone than a dev that churns out the same type of game over and over like epic

Nintendo usually does a pretty good job. And for those who said Square Enix, don't forget about The Bouncer and that racing car game they made.

Tecmo, Valve and Retro Studios.

Didn't Tecmo make Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball?

Blizzard, Valve, Bioware, Criterion, Rockstar, Kojima Productions, Bethesda.

While I can't say that all of these developers have a perfect track record, I will say that anything they announce will get my attention.

A lot of people don't like Insomniac around here, but any dev that puts out a solid AA or AAA game every year is great, even if its nothing revolutionary.
