      Editing … They suck at writing believable, down to earth characters and their games' plots are a complete joke. All in all the male power fantasies they create are embarrassing and juvenile. I'm not twelve years old anymore, yo. (games developed by Platinum that I have played or finished: Bayonetta, Vanquish, Infinite Space, Wonderful 101, Metal Gear Rising)

      Editing … Oh come on Gries, don't knock poor Tri-Ace. They have some solid games like Resonance of Fate, Infinite Undiscovery, Valkyrie Profile and the Star Ocean series. And on the subject of Platinum, yeah I agree with you but... Bayonetta rocks.

      Editing … I think Vanquish was really great. I was surprised how well it played and how much fun it was. And Resonance of Fate should have had way more attention. For me it's kind of a hidden gem and I hope that someday another game will have those mechanics, as they where really clever.

    Love how Squaresoft sits at #1, while Square-Enix is way lower at #32. Kinda sad, how the mighty have fallen...

      Editing … The name change makes it easy to seperate their glorious past from the mixed feeling of present day SE.

    Most developers images are low resolution, so feel free to update them to make it all pretty.
