We're 14th, which I guess is ok.

Very cool article, I agree with the top pick in a list for once as well

[Furyo]

Well top of the list I would agree with, but many things can be said about the rest of the list.

I'm amazed that Scotland is a country...

Netherlands comes in 7th ^^

as in points yes, but "our" company is placed at:

37. Guerilla Games (killzone)

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Well I've gone from 26, to 21 to 7 so I guess at least I am climbing the ladder.

Really dont agree with Climax being in 26th on that list though. The games that are name checked as being their biggest hitters were all made by the Brighton studio which was sold along with the team (read talent) to Buena Vista (Disney) about 6 months ago.

Well top of the list I would agree with, but many things can be said about the rest of the list.

agreed. Remedy shoulda been higher. Yeah they have only have the Payne series and soon Alan Wake, but Payne were some quality games. I don't really think Avalanche Studios should have beat out Remedy. Just Cause may have looked pretty, but it just didn't play well.

Also, I learned that Rare is in Europe, for some reason I always thought it was in the states.

Yeah Rare HQ is not far from me, based in a small town that is only otherwise known for its zoo. They gave a guest lecture in one of my graphics lectures and demo'd Kameo prior to 360 release.

lol @ Scotland comment.

IO BEATS RARE FTW

remedy seriously needs to be higher

[Izuno]

Very impressive list of stuff coming out of Europe, for certain. I'm happy to see Traveller's Tales near the top after playing through LEGO SW II.

And, is it just me, or does Harry Patter and the Order of the Pheonix seem like a more interesting game to people over 14 yrs old than past Harry Potter games? Somehow I'm actually excited about that and I'm not even a big Harry Potter fan. Strange.

[e-freak]

Yes - the new Harry Potter Game looks more promising than it's prequels. Best change was leavin unreal engine 1.5 behind ^^
