Poll: Which developer made the best games in the 2000s?

[WorriedSandwich]

How can a game be both RTS and turned based?

Anyway, my vote goes to Valve, simply because almost all games they've put out these years were at the very least great. Let me recount them, like everybody in this topic already did: Half-Life 2 + episodes (great), Team Fortress 2 (excessively fun), Left 4 Dead + sequel (I heard it's good, not my thing) and Portal + sequel (digitalized God).

Also, I would like to give a shout out to Criterion. The Burnout games were extremely fun, especially Burnout Paradise which had an innotive concept, fantastic multiplayer, and free, new content-filled updates. I also heard NFS:Hot Pursuit was pretty good, but I didn't play it.

Bethesda (Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3) ftw, with BioWare (Neverwinter Nights, Dragon Age, Baulder's Gate) a close 2nd.

Infinity Ward a.k.a. Respawn Entertainment deserves an honorable mention for making the greatest FPS ever in CoD4.

Sony should get some credit too, for making the best MMO - Planetside.
