Favorite:

Square-Enix (Yea I know but I'm an unabashed FF and Star Ocean fan)
Insomniac (Ratchet and Clank)
Sega (Unabashed Sonic fan)
SNK (King of Fighters fan)


Least Favorite:

EA (I just don't like sports games. I'd rather go outside and play)

And though they don't exist anymore, Working Designs (Lunar and Grandia) is also a favorite of mine.

Gotta agree with you there on WD, I found all my WD collector's edition boxes/stuff while cleaning out my closet this weekend. Hardcover manuals, soundtracks, keychains, stickers, maps, etc... WD really knew how to package a game.

SNK (King of Fighters fan)

holy crap how could i forget about SNK. Metal slug and KOF is the reason why i was always broke in middle-school. They had an awesome machine at the fle market and arcade near me. KOF 98 For the EPIC win.

I have a soft spot for Atlus as a publisher (not a developer, so don't get those confused!) since I worked for Atlus USA.

Why not as a developer? Their games are considerably better than the piles of crap they usually publish. SMT3 and Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2 are some of the best games I've played, though admittedly Persona 3 is absolutely horrible.

My favorite developer is Valve, they put so much effort into their games and support them with new content months, even years after release.

Ah, I wasn't clear on that. I mean Atlus USA's published games I like and support. I like their dev'd games as well but I've never managed to finish any of them, as with many RPGs I like. Kaneko is one of my favorite artists.

Valve is a fun developer, and they definitely keep their word in terms of content. BUT! I've been working with the Source engine for a while now, and goodness it could use some documentation -_- The wiki is there but oft unreliable :/
