Sup, I've been making lists on my iPod (as some of you may know if you actually read my last blog) and I've finished one; my top 20 favourite developers. So... this is part 1 of 2 in the series I will be counting down from 20... here goes...

First I'll give a mention to Rebellion, Bungie, Maxis, Gearbox, Sucker Punch, Infinity Ward and Evolution Studios... for almost getting in.

#20 Croteam

Serious Sam... what a game... why say more?

#19 Naughty Dog

Known for the Jak series, The Crash Bandicoot series (well, some of them... for the PS1) and the (more recent) Uncharted series. They are a good develeper and I reccomend all of their games.

#18 Looking Glass Studios

Thief is a game I somehow totally missed, so I picked it up last year; and loved every second of it. These are the guys that created the Thief series although shut down in 2000, whereas Eidos took it up from then on in. Just for that, these guys are here.

#17 BioWare

Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars KotoR, Mass Effect and Dragon Age Origins. I have this strange inkling this game likes to make RPG games... I wonder what tells me that. BioWare put quality into their work, that's why they are great.

#16 Insomniac

Spyro, Ratchet and Clank and Resistance... what more could you ask for?

#15 Firaxis

Civilisations and pirates... what I've always wanted. You may know this company better by thinking of every game with the words Sid and Meier before the title. A great developer.

#14 Epic Games

Although known for Gears of War and starting the Unreal series; I applaud them for their engines; which have been used a hell of a lot: and pretty much all of the games on it's engine are good.

#13 Irrational Games ( 2k Boston/Australia)

System Shock 2 and Bioshock were shocking so this shocking developer shockingly gets the shocking prize of the shocking 13th place in my shocking list.

#12 Capcom

This ye olde developer is still making great games. From Street Fighter to Resident Evil; this developer have always been making good, if not great, games sinse the 70's.

#11 Game Freak

POKEMON! Almost everyone has a memory with this game, gotta love it.

Yeahhh I'll post the rest sometime in the not too distant future... which is... whenever I get around to it.
