^^Three. You forgot (as did everyone else :fear: ) UT3.

 

Four if you are willing to count Shadow complex. My personal GOTY so far. I know they werent the developer but still UE3, Epic owned company AFAIK and Epic published game.

 

I cannot forget a UT game. :thumbsup:

 

But I had checked its metacritic score and all version were between 80-90. Shadoken was only considering games with 90+ AAA.

90-99-AAA

80-89-AA

I dunno, I always thought AAA games were the ones that were made on a big budget, had strong ad campaigns behind them and were projected to sell extremly well. Nothing to do with how they did critically.

Ya, I'm pretty sure that's what a AAA title is supposed to be. However if they do suffer critically, I think they lose AAA status :thumbsup:

@madmage....its the list of top 10 devs this gen....Blizzard is yet to come out with their superb games....

 

la*da bc...then where's EPIC? **gears anyone**

 

and imo insomniac shouldn't b in top 5

 

what ever man, i am more pissed that they DID NOT use a ratchet image for awesomniac :thumbsup:

and oh yeah, IW at 1 is joke.

 

^^ that people....is a fact

 

this whole article is nothing ut to hype iw's mw2..well i say f u biatch...

 

also no Kojima = insta Fail.......in yer face beech :fear::P:chair:

 

Love the unbiased *cough* article - basically some 16 yr old whiny emo kid wrote this who thinks that graphics pwns everything else. The writer has only really considered action games. This generation should also include the Wii and the DS - and we all know what happens when a Pokemon releases.

 

Actually hold on - 16 yr old whiny emo kid + action games. Homaga is this is your writing?

spot on grampy....oh and iw being no.1 makes ur accusation even more valid **multiplayer..cough**

Whenever people say this gen I am surprised they miss out PC and Nintendo and ipod. It's a shame. And they pick only two consoles who sell less than any of the three mentioned.

 

Blizzard is my favourite developer of all time, followed by the now defunct Looking Glass Studios and then maybe Bioware. But Valve = L4D+Orange Box on 360; Bioware = Mass Effect / Dragon Age; and each time the PC version was better.

 

The list is fine - except it's missing Epic. If IW can get in at 1 because of COD4 and MW2 hype machine, Epic deserves to be there just for Gears. Gears is as much a system seller for the 360 as Halo.

umm ..i use gs forums alot and everyone there considers 9+ as AAA nothing to do with budget or ads....a good game is a good game whether it sold or not

 

There is no written definition of an AAA game. There are way too many parameters which define that. The features, elements, difficulty curve, balance, polish, artwork, audio, marketing and a lot of other factors.

Came here to post this.

 

A list of fav devs is very subjective. I, personally, don't consider Valve as a great developer (good but not great). Someone else swears by their products and they are entitled to their opinions as I am to mine.

^^ tell me someone you don't like, except Cliffy :unsure:

 

I am talking about people who are fanatical about LGS. I just put LGS before Bioware / Valve.

 

 

LGS were awesome, very much ahead of their time. The first LGS game I ever played was Ultima Underworld, back in the mid 90s and spent countless hours on it. Flash forward few of years later I found the demo of Thief on a Chip CD. Played it, was left speechless, got the full version to it.

I was so amazed by it that I had to check out their other games (System Shock series, Ultima Underworld 2, Terra Nova).

 

Now, I've lost most of the games except Thief 1 and 2 which I still enjoy.
