Id Software. They made my childhood a happy one, and continued right on into the mid twenties. Doom never gets old.

Alright, some of mine don't exist anymore, so I'll just say that those are my favorite developers ever. Don't forget about Raven Software. They made a lot of great shooters over the years.

I'd agree with you but I thought this list was for current devs.

If for devs overall, then yes...Dune 2, Bladerunner, Command and Conquer, Nox...such a great studio.

1. Interplay/Black Isle (Fallout series)

2. Blizzard (speaks for itself)

3. Valve (speaks for itself)

4. Creative Assembly (Total War)

5. Stardock's various developers (GalCiv, SoaSE, but mainly due to their cooperation with Stardock formulating in the advancement of the PC as an art form and knowing how to treat the customer)

Yeah, I think Epic took some very... excentric design choises and statements over the past year or two. They're playing to conservative if you ask me - from the dark art style to the minimal game-play improvements. It's just not really workin' out.

I know! Like, UT from 1999 to 2004 was pretty damn cool.

Then, all of a sudden, they make Unreal 2, and it goes downhill from there. Then they act all brokenhearted when crappy UT3 doesnt sell well.

God, Unreal was such an awesome game, too.

I'm not quite sure I entirely agree. I mean, WoW was good, but not Great...they are an esteemed (and one of the greatest) developers around but WoW just wasn't as good as it could've been.

My top 5:

1. Valve

2. Crytek

3. Blizzard (for Starcraft)

4. I.D. (for CREATING fps games)

5. Firaxis Games (Sid Meier w00t!)

Sierra used to be king of all games; If it said "Sierra" on the box, you knew you held an excellent game. Oh, how times have changed...

EA is a great publisher not a great developer.gogators4life
If you hold most companies to that standard, it gets weird. Blizzard didn't 'make' Diablo, they bought Condor 6 months before Condor finished the game. I say we all just give up on being too picky. Are we really going to try to say Blizzard didn't do Diablo? But yeah, assuming we're talking about current devs - not mentioning Relic, Creative Assembly or Firaxis would be a huge shame.
