My favourite has to be Valve. With the Half Life series, the Orange Box, Left 4 Dead and Counter-Strike to name a few, I'd go hands down for Valve. What are your favourite developers? (I know I've made quite a few topics in the last few days but this is the last one for a bit now coz I know you must be starting to get sick of the sight of the Half Life 2 logo next to my name :)

@manurok1901: I think I'm gonna mention Rare as well. Possibly my 2nd favourite developer, the Banjo series I adore and other Rare games (mainly N64) like Goldeneye, Conker's BFD and DK 64 make Rare one of the best developer's in the UK and USA.

Atlus is my new favorite developer.  Persona 4 is hilarious and a blast to play.

Blizzard is brilliant.  Diablo, Starcraft, and that MMO I keep hearing about.

Infinity Ward is impeccable.  Call of Duty.

Bioware is the WRPG king. Baulder's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age Origins.

CD Projekt had a strong showing with The Witcher.

Square-Enix has lost it's touch lately, but maybe they can redeem themselves with FF13 and FF versus 13.  DQIX might be good.

Mistwalker has great potential.  Lost Odyssey.

Creative Assembly has mastered the art of Strategy gaming.  Total War.

Firaxis Games has mastered the art of Strategy gaming, as well.  Civilization.

Ironclad Games has huge potential. Sins of a Solar Empire.

Saga surprised me with Valkyria Chronicles.

1C Company has great potential in Strategy-RPG hybrid Gaming.  King's Bounty The legend.

There's a great multitude of high quality developers out there, but many have not released anything in a while.

Judging by my spending habits. 
 
Capcom.  (SF4, SFIIHDR, BCR, MHFU, RE5 all awesome recent games. I think Capcom had the best line up of any game company in a while.)
 
Atlus. (Shin Megami Tensei series and Etrian Odyssey II, need I say more?)
 
Square Enix (TWEWY, FFIV, FFCC, they aren't good with console releases recently, but I bought a lot of great handheld games from them).
 
Blizzard (WoW, SC, D2... I quit WoW for good, but I'm most fond of the memories I've created in it than any other MMO, or videogame I've ever played in my life.)
 
Valve (L4D, HL2 series, Portal, TF2... And Steam. Valve maybe a bit slow on releasing games, much like Blizz, but both put out the best in quality.)

Popcap deserve a mention - addictive, highly-polished games time and time again.
 
But over gaming history there can only really be one winner - Nintendo.

Yeah, Atlus, the games they produce are generally of good quality (Except for Operation Darkness) and a lot of what they do really feels like its for their fans. I'm also impressed on how well they treat their western fans, you don't see that from Japanese companies commonly, I respect them for that.
