Best game publisher/developer ?

One I personally think are the best are Rockstar, Bungie and Naughty Dog. I would add Nintendo too, most of their games don't appeal to me but I cannot fault their design, ideas or execution.

Edit: Would also add Turn 10. They haven't done anything but Forza but apart from content issue in F5 their games have all been brilliant.

Bungie!

Sorry but I don't get Bungie and the whole Halo franchise. It's just a FPS. we have loads of those. I wouldn't rate them among the best. What else have they created apart from Destiny (which is another FPS)?

Lol, that's a very narrow minded view you have.

I don't get Halo either, but you cannot deny the following/and acclaim that the games series has, and for good reason too. Just because they have only made FPS games you cannot/should not discount them.
 
Why on earth not? We bash COD all of the time.

Serious question. What separated this from other FPS?

Even if you don't like a series surely as a gamer you can appreciate the game and its production values? As I said above, a lot of Nintendo games don't appeal to me but I can't deny that they are very well made games. Halo might be 'just' an FPS but it is one of the best IMO. It looks good with smooth fluid movement, good set pieces, good story with well written / directed cut scenes and to top it off a fantastic music that fits the game extremely well.

Edit: I play a lot of COD but that is online, the campaigns are forgetable and cold. By cold I mean they are all individual and you never build up a relationship with the characters, the games just aren't emotive. Whereas playing through the Halo series you come to appreciate the relationship between John and Cortana. The fighting for survival becomes a fight you want to take part in rather than just another game of shooting random enemies. If you don't get that, thats fine it's your opinon but I don't think you can argue with the above about production values.

Edit 2: Thinking about it some more, the same reasons the Half Life series are such fantastic games is mostly the same reasons I would consider Halo to be too even though both are 'just' an FPS.

They've always been great to their fans. Their community support on the website is the best out there. I can go on the Bungie website and still see my Halo 2 career details. It's great for checking stats on individual games or how good you are with certain weapons. They update their multiplayer games throughout their life very well and listen to the community for future games (adding game modes like Zombies, Grifball and SWAT after they became popular with the community)

They even support groups like RedvsBlue, who only started after a glitch in the first halo!
 
I agree with Nintendo, Valve and Blizzard taking the top spots.
But if one stands above them all, it has to be Valve, and not just for their games. They pretty much built the PC gaming industry as we know it and are only going to make it better.
 
Surprised nobody has mentioned Square Enix..........

Really enjoy just about everything I play that sez 'Square Enix' on the tin (although I do play on PC if that were to make a difference I don't know).

Starting to enjoy the Bethesda FPS/action adventure games that are surfacing also, but couldn't recommend Bethesda as such just incase any mistook it as a commendation of all their most overrated biggest borefest RPGs ever.
 
Naughty Dog for me.

About 5 or so years ago i'd have said Insomniac, but they seem to have went right down hill lately.
