I´m gonna have to go with Bioware on this one.

Blizzard all the way :D

DOUBLE-FINE!!

BioWare / Atlus for me.

Valve without a doubt. They've made some of my favorite games.

Bioware - Mass Effect, Neverwinter Nights, Dragon Age Origins (what I've seen so far), Knights of the Old Republic, Baldur's Gate 2, their work on The Witcher and oversight (I think) on NWN2.

Blizzard made the game I've played the most, and Bethesda made one of my favourite fantasy games (Oblivion), but Bioware have consistently given me enjoyment with their games and I'm probably a "life customer".

Black Isle.

There's a difference between which of those I think are the best developers and which is my favourite. See, if Valve delved more into my favourite genre of games, I would have to vote for them, but, since Bethesda makes the open-world RPGs that I love, my vote has to go there.

I can't really choose just one. My love is basically stretched around to four diffrent ones.

Valve-Obviously. I loved Left 4 Dead, I loved TF2, I loved Portal, I loved Half-Life exc exc exc.

Bethesda- Another great developer. Oblivion was my first and proably is still my favorite RPG game.

Epic Games-If you can't tell from the avatar, I am a Gears of War Fanboy. I admit, I'm not ashamed of it.

and finally

Bioware-There only on here for Mass Effect, but the game was so good that it net's them more then enough points to make the top 4.

Bioware, mini-Bioware, and Bethesda

Suda51/Grasshopper Manufacture.
Awesome.

tie with Valve, Bethesda and Bungie.

Tied between Capcom, Square Enix, and Ubisoft. Of course, Konami's pretty good too.

@_@ I clearly can't make up my mind. xD

In order, Insomniac, id, Gearbox.

Major poll fail. And voter fail.

I hope all the "other" voters atleast had HAL Laboratory, Bungie, or Insomniac in mind.

I liked fallout 3.

I think you'll find that Fallout 3 isn't a Game Developer =)

If it was it....eh Fallout 3 just lacked genuine polish but Bethesda isn't too good with characterization and dialogue in general.

Gotta say Bioware myself, everything about Bethesda, open worlds, and good voice acting and animations.

Square Enix.

Simply for the Final Fantasy games, freaking awesome.

Hmmmmm a hard fight between Valve and Bethesda.

I'd have voted Eidos had it had its name up there,

still, Ubisoft and Bethesda are probably my top listers, =/

Why just Ubisoft Montreal? Why not just put in Ubisoft?

Naughty Dog for the win

The Rainmaker:
Naughty Dog for the win

man those guys were awesome

I just noticed that nintendo dont feature in the poll- AWESOME

Valve for the winz! I wub TF2!

Had to find this thread to 'correct' my vote from Epic to Other. CCP where already high up on my list but I stumbled across this earlier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgvM7av1o1Q and it was so awesome I had to change.

Edit: yes I know you can't actually change vote, but in my mind I can!

VALVE. No contest.

Anyone but:

OT:
Valve, for making such engaging and great games.

when has valve ever made a bad game?

Either Valve, Bioware, Capcom or Bethesda, I can't decide on one.

Bungie, since they actually try to make their fans happy.

I also love Bioware, but that's only because of their awesome games.

1. Valve
2. Tripwire Interactive (Killing Floor)
3. Telltale Games (Sam and Max, Strong Bad, TOMonkey Island)

ehhhh I will go with Valve because of portal.

Bioware. I'm a sucker for that RPG stuff. Mass Effect is greatly of the win with me

I should of known valve would be on top, I like Bethesda, its good to see different responses.

Relic or Valve. I think. Bathesta was cool too.

I love EA, Bioware, Blizzard (old stuff blizzard I'm bored of WoW), Valve, oh and of course SquareSoft. There are way too many games for me to pick an absolute favorite.

(final fantasy 7 is STILL the best final fantasy by far when it comes to story line/game play)
