Nintendo is top game developer
New survey finds Big N is best
A newly released annual list of the world's top fifty game developers has been published by Game Developer Research, listing the the best game makers by number of studios, 2008 sales and Metacritic ratings.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Nintendo came out on top of the list, ahead of Blizzard, Ubisoft Montreal, Rockstar North, EA Canada, Konami, Valve, Epic, EA Tiburon and Treyarch.
Six-hundred developers were also asked their views when the list was being compiled - in order to gain insider views on some of the biggest brands in gaming.
Hal Laboratory, Capcom, Travellers Tales, Bethesda Game Studios, Insomniac Games, Namco Bandai Games, EA Redwood Shores, Koei, Kojima Productions, Harmonix Music Systems, Media Molecule, Lionhead Studios, Vicarious Visions, Maxis and Neversoft Entertainment make up the remaining top 25.
