Best developer by Genre

Platformer- Easily Nintendo. Anyone who tells you different either has very bad taste or just a fanboy. Mario Galaxy and Mario galaxy 2 9.5/10 (rated by major sites) Is the epitome of the Platformer Genre. Nintendo also pushed the Wii like no developer can. If you look at Mario galaxy 1 and 2 there is not one Game even in the same ballpark technically/artistically as the Mario galaxy franchise. Then you Go way back with Mario galaxy 3, super mario world, super mario bros, etc etc

RPG- Not of all time but Recently it has to be Bethesda. Fallout 3 is just amazing and Oblivion was the first true Next gen rpg. They have evoloved the genre and right now are on top.

Racing- This depends if you like arcade or Sim. I like Arcade so I'm choosing Criterion. Love burnout and love what I am seeing from the New NFS 2 hot pursuit.

Action- Epic. Gears of War 2 is just pure action.

FPS- So many choices; I"m going to go with EA with bad company 2. This genre will switch several times thorughout the year but IMO bad company 2 is the best fps to come out in a long time.

JRPG- This genre is just stale. Square/enix is just a shadow of their former self's and there hasn't been a groundbreaking JRPG this whole geneeration. I don't care for any IMO. FF13 by default so Square

Puzzle- Valve/ portal

Name some of your favorites

nintendo is the best at making platformers and adventures for sure.

Platformer: EAD Tokyo

Shooter: Treasure Co. Ltd.

Rythm: Harmonix

RPG: Intelligent Systems (They make the Paper Mario series they also make Fire Emblem)

Action: Platinum Games (For Bayonetta, Mad World, and Vanquish (IF Gears can be considered Action then so can Vanquish)

FPS: People Can Fly (I'm liking the look of Bulletstorm and it looks like an interesting take on FPS genre)

Music: Q Entertainment (They make alot of Music games their next game is Child of Eden which is a Musical Shooter)

Racing: Amusement Vision (I still love F-Zero GX)

Action would go to Naughty Dog, Uncharted 2 just pushed th genre to the next level.

Platformer: Sega/Sonic Team

RPG: Namco. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is better than the Tales series.

Sports: San Diego Studios. MLB the Show is the best sports sim out there.

Fighter: Cyber Connect 2. The only good fighting games are Naruto or Dragonball Z.

MMORPG: Blizzard. WoW is the only good MMO out there.

Surely racing has to be Codemasters.
