Game Companies ? ? ?
 

This is a No Brainer but you never know. :p

Which Game Co. Do you LOVE :D or HATE. :arrgh!:

Short reason why is also welcome.

PLEASE no Essay's or Long winded storys.

Old school Micro Prose- They for the most part made fun, quallity games.:up:

This is my list of current game companies that impress me:
Matrix
Ageod
Storm Eagle Studios
Lead Pursuit
XSI
Digital Combat Simulator
Tripwire Interactive
Thunder-Works

I know some of them haven't even released a finished product, but they are the only people out there producing "high fidelity" combat fastjet sims.

PD

Tripwire Interactive and Taleworlds are both good at customer communication.

*Edit* Ahh! I'm the second person to up TW! :D

TSR (The original)
West End Games
Avalon Hill (The original, not the bastardised version that Hasbro has made it)
Matrix
FASA
Compas Games
Clash of Arms
Avalanch Press
Fantasy Flight

I think that HPS Simulations deserves mention as one of the better game publishers. Their committment to their products is the reason that I say this. They continue to support & update their games that are in some cases 8-9 years old. They also respond to emails very quickly (often within 24 hours) if you encounter a problem with one of their games.:up:

Any hated companies?:hmm:



I think every Sierra game I bought (old school sierra) had some pretty bad bug issues.

Old Dynamix. Those people made some of the best flight simulators ever, and they were ALL unforgettable. I still play Red Baron 3D to this day, and I'm not planning on retiring any time soon.

The Czech company Illusion Softworks, today called Take2 Czech I think, have been an interesting company. Many of their games are WW 2 era shooters with attention to technical accuracy and good sounds.

EA is alove hate relationship.:dead:

Love:

Old Microprose
Activision
Raven Software
Capcom
Konami
THQ
Bullfrog

Hate:

EA Sports
Tiburon

Even with only 11 posts this is a fairly good cross section of this website.

A Moderater , Seasoned members and some fairly new members. :D

This thread has worked out good. Alot of companys I never heard of and will Google to learn more about them and there games.

Funny thing tho. Nobody had a :up: or :down: about Ubisoft. :p :rotfl:

I wonder why ? :hmm:

Love Bethesda Softworks and PopCap. Won't purchase anything from Obsidian.

I like Bethesda, Telltale Games (For the new S&M games mostly), old Microprose and...that's all that crosses my mind ATM

I hate EA, HATE, HATE!

Yeah. They also made that great game Mafia, which took THREE YEARS to finish. It was stunning for 2002. What's now even better is that they've announced a Mafia II for current-gen consoles and the PC! Here's a few screenshots of the original game:
