Bioware (KOTOR got me into RPG's where Blizzard failed) They have a knack for great story lines that draw you in.

Valve: Not only for the HL series, but bringing digital downloads to the masses besides fileplanet and a few others, it was an unknown for the most part until STEAM arrived.

Why single out Blizzard for failing on RPGs? Diablo series is hack-n-slash, WoW is an MMO, I'm not quite sure why even bothering to mention Blizzard. They've never put out a traditional RPG.

If you don't make an RPG game it doesn't mean that you failed at making one, cause you never made one in the first place. How can it fail if it's non existent? User created WC3 maps don't count cause Blizzard didn't make them, the gaming community did, since your a part of the gaming community, your the one who failed to deliver better RPG maps!!! It's all on you!!!!!
 
PolyDigital(Gran Turismo 1,2,3,4,5)
Infinity Ward(Call Of Duty 1,2,4,6)
Bungie Studios(Halo 1,2,3, ODST)
 
BIOWARE!!

I am a big opposer brand loyalty and fanboism. However, I would enthusiastic accept the title of a Bioware fanboy. Their latest addition Mass Effect 2 impressed me most by how seemlessly they have connected the plot with the first game. Though functionally different, you decisions that you make in the first game affect the 2nd one tremendously and will affect the 3rd one as well. Mass effect 2 is less of a sequel, more of a continuation of the same game plot wise. I love it.

I hope that more game developers begin to release series like this. It is a sure way to hook fans in for several installments of the series.

If I was forced to play only on genre of game, it would be RPGs. If I only one developer to choose from, Bioware; no contest
 
Blizzard - WC3 Custom games FTW
Valve - CS 1.6 (first fps that got me hooked)
 
Bioware hands down, beat Baldurs Gate 1/2 quite a few times. KOTOR was awesome hmm Dragon Age beat a few times and I rarely even play games anymore. Playing Mass Effect 2 now and its great as well. Man what a great damn company.
 
The old school sierra games, quest for glory, kings quest, roger wilco, police quest, etc.

And Tribes.
 
Bioware for me. The environments and set pieces, in their titles, are second to none.
 
It's id for me. I can't tell you how many hours I've played of RTCW. That has to be the best FPS ever.
 
for the last 4 or 5 years I have been playing halo 2 live, first on xbox, now on xbox360, its the only thing I play. sadly, it seems the online community went from millions to nobody, sometimes I wait 15 mins for a game to start like at 3 or 4am.

If I am on a computer, I have halo 1 trial version that I modded for subtle things like homing in rockets etc. I do have halo 3 for xbox, but haven't played more than a day of it, couldn't really stand the new maps and differences compared to halo 2.

if someone is over I will play mortal kombat vs dc.

only other game I play is gta4, but in the last 2 years I have only completed 3% of the game, I prefer to just drive around and do stupid shit.
 
nintendo, konami, capcom, sega...some others I can't think of.
 
Bioware is top of the list (most likely to deliver)
Microprose/Firaxis (Civ2/4, Master of Orion 1&2, Master of Magic and a few others)
Square-Enix (I'm a Dragon Quest fanboy, and FF games are about 50% hit and miss for me)
Nintendo
Capcom (Devil May Cry, Street Fighter and other fighting games, Maximo...so many good games)

Honorable mention to Namco. Played a lot of hours of Tekken / Soul Calibur. They're hit and miss though on other games (like Star Fox Assault...and Tekken 4 - not so great)
 
First and foremost.....Valve. It's how i got into PC gaming with Half Life and still playing their games.

Second....DICE. I've played all Battlefield series games on the PC and i just love them.
