I will make notes and comments later on in the day. Very hard list that I spent way too much time on.

Developer – Rare

Man, yikes. Based on what? The fact that they didn't put out many? Because Kameo was decent and pretty good for a launch game, both Viva Pinata games are great, and Banjo Nuts and Bolts is fantastic.

They didn't churn out much, but most of that could probably be blamed on MS. Worst Developer of the generation seems a bit harsh, so I'm curious your reason for it.

[Buzzman]

Yea it really isn't there fault, but they get penalized for not doing anything. They had so much talent and potential, but Microsoft destroyed them. They haven't made a non Kinect title in 5 years, and even the games they made which you seem to like, I was disinterested. I was super excited for Nuts and Bolts, but the entire vehicle evolution made me dislike it and it just didn't feel like a good Banjo game to me. (Which was my favorite games on the N64). I thought the Viva games were time-wasters. I could never really sit down and play them for long periods at a time. Perfect Dark Zero was complete shit, and Kameo was indeed an alright game, but looking back years later, it was only alright because it was one of the few playable games at launch. Compared to games a year later, I think its not very good. Again, this is probably mostly on Microsoft and there decision on where to take the developer after purchase, but they could at least try and make good games on what they were forced to make, but everything was either bad or forgettable.
