    I can't classify that like you do.
    All of those had many good games, but many blank shots too.

    It would be nicer if you asked best RPG producers, or best FPS creators, or best turn-based strategy something.

    Hmm, I don't have that many that I like.

    1.Bioware :)
    2.Bioware :D
    3.Bioware :spin:
    4.Bioware :rolling:
    5.Bioware :roll:

    Heh, sorry but that was just my thanks to Bioware for making the Baldur's Gate series. I've never even really compared any other CRPGs to it. Well, the Fallout Series was awsome, that was Black Isle. And so was Betrayal at Krondor, which was Dynamix(they also made Red Baron, another great game), and I think they were later bought out by Sierra, not sure. Um, I don't want to dip into video games, cause I really don't like them, but I downloaded a Rom for the game "Shadow Runner" and it was really cool(it's a roleplaying game). Also the very old game "Wasteland" comes to mind, precursor to the Fallout series. Oh I almost forgot the Zelda series.

    Blizzard is over 10 years old, but has a total of only 5 released titles (if you're not counting expansions). All of them are of an extreme quality. StarCraft is an old Windows 95 game, and do this day Blizzard still has to release new patches for it because the number of people playing it certainly not decreasing.

    Blizzard has an extreme focus on quality, not quantity. That we can see very clear from the Diablo 2 cinematics and the Warcraft 3 trailers.

    Blizzard has the worlds largest online gaming community in Battle Net, and it will only expand with the release of Warcraft 3 and the new MMORPG World of Warcraft.

    Blizzard Entertainment are the supreme game producer in the world. Noone can even be compared to them.
