[Tony Montana]

This is kind of hard. Some of my favorite devs don't have 5 games or 5 games that I consider my favorite.

Blizzard Entertainment:

1. World of Warcraft (including The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King)
   
2. Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
3. Starcraft: Broodwar
4. Diablo II: Lord of Destruction
5. Overwatch

2. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
3. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Looking Glass Studios/Ion Storm:

1. Thief II: The Metal Age
2. Deus Ex
3. System Shock 2

[Sotha_Sil]

Bethesda Games Studio

1. The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind
2. Fallout 3
3. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim
4. Fallout 4
5. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion

Obsidian Entertainment

1. Fallout: New Vegas
2. Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
3. Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer

I had to reach deep on the last two to get to five. All BGS games include their expansions, didn't want to separate them. Obsidian had the largest number of possibilities, I had to leave off Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny, two games that certainly deserved mention. I just prefer their 3D games. A couple of developers I couldn't get to five favorite games with, like Bioware.

[Deleted member 7462]

Whoo, I like this. I'll try to add a bit of commentary afterward to keep this from just being list-a-mania. Also, note that these are my favorite devs of all time and that, for simplicity's sake, I'll include in-house dev teams under the larger company's name.

SEGA:

1. NiGHTS Into Dreams...
2. Sonic the Hedgehog 2
3. Jet Set Radio Future
4. Virtua Fighter 5
5. Sonic Generations

Nintendo:

1. Super Mario Bros. 3
2. Virtual Boy Wario Land
3. Super Mario World
4. Pokemon Snap
5. Super Mario Land 2

Obsidian:

1. Fallout: New Vegas
2. Alpha Protocol
3. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II
4. South Park: The Stick of Truth
5. Pillars of Eternity

Firaxis:

1. Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire
2. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
3. Sid Meier's Civilization IV
4. Sid Meier's Civilization V
5. X-COM: Enemy Unknown

AKI/SynSophia:

1. Def Jam: Fight For New York
2. WWF No Mercy
3. WCW/nWo Revenge
4. WWF WrestleMania 2000
5. WCW/nWo World Tour


It was so hard to leave Capcom and Konami off this list, and I'm not sure that I feel good about it. I'd have added TMNT: Turtles in Time, Sunset Riders, The Adventures of Batman and Robin, and I don't know what quite else for Konami. I DID add Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Cannon Spike, Power Stone, Mega Man 7, X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse before I changed it in an edit. The companies listed are in no particular order, though SEGA has, via one in-house team or another, published more games that I love than any other company. Even in their current shitty state, it would take the other four companies on this list another decade to catch up to them.
