Favourite Game Producer?
Discussion
Inspired by a comment in the Red Dead Redemtpion thread.
Gun mentioned that Rockstar were his favourite producer. My immediate reaction was one of "What, not Bioware with the awesome Dragon Age, and Mass Effect 1 & 2 to their credit!?!"
So that's my colours nailed to the mast - what other producers are out there that you rate and for what reason?
For me it's the blend of compelling storytelling and great game play that make Bioware far and away winners.

Rareware (Nintendo Era and before)
Need I say more really? Have gone significantly downhill since the MS acquisition although they are still far from “bad”.
I would say the Snes & N64 era was when they were at their prime, Donkey Kong, Killer Instinct, Goldenye, Jet force Gemini etc etc.
Lionhead Studios
Although they only have a few (excellent) titles to their name, I admire the way Peter Molyneux likes to explore outside the box. Many many hours I have spent playing black & white and fable.
Capcom/Konami
On their survival Horror games alone they rank highly for me. (Resident evil and Silent Hill respectively)

Psygnosis for me but I'm biased. Which was then bought by Sony. The chap who owned it, an Uncles mate, now owns Evolution Studios.
For the record, Pysgnosis produced:
Lemmings
Wipeout
Shadow of The Beast
Prince of Persia
F1 games
Novastorm
Discworld
Destruction Derby
Colony Wars
Amongst others.

They had my vote as soon as I saw the thread title.Let's not forget that they have the Baldur's Gate series and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic to their credit as well, for those of us who have been gaming a little bit longer....
Rockstar would be a close second though.

Freespace 1 & 2
The Startrek academy games.
Also Creative Assembly for all the Total War games.
Definitely. Plus Bard's Tale and Descent. And Baldur's Gate as well as Bioware. Not sure how that works. Guess Interplay published it.Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics
Freespace 1 & 2

I could have sworn I remembered seeing Interplay's logo at the beginning of Eye of the Beholder series as well...
ETA - a quick search for which reveals, that was of course Westwood. Famed for C&C too.
