Nintendo
Well of course I've got some nice things to say about Nintendo. But also I also don't really like the direction Nintendo is going in, every year we get a constant rehash of Super Mario and especially the Mario Party series (seriously all we really need is one Mario Party game per console, why does Nintendo continue to make constant Mario Party games that aren't even that different from each other)

Nintendo really needs to start working on the underrated series, what's to be afraid of Mario isn't going anywhere and I'm sure nobody would cry themselves to sleep if he just went a year without a new game.

What we really need is an Ice Climbers reboot, Kid Icarus Uprising sequel, new Metroid game or an original new Star Fox game for the Nintendo Wii U and or 3DS.

Mario games should instead just come in DLC, instead of charging it for $60 at the end of the month. But I'm sure this all comes from Shigeru Miyamoto being too afraid to take an inspiration or two from Playstation and Microsoft.
 * Favorite Game of this Company: Kid Icarus: Uprising, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
 * Least Favorite Games of this Company: Any un-needed Mario game.

Sega
Sega in a way almost suffers from the same issue as Nintendo. First off the Sonic games are good yet bad at the same time, I know Sonic Colors was sorta Sonic's comeback game but I still think more could be done to return Sonic back to the glory days of the Genesis or even Dreamcast.

While on the topic of the Dreamcast I'd really hope that Sega doesn't begin reusing the same idea for every Sonic the Hedgehog game (new Sonic's games in a nutshell: Sonic and Tails visit some uncharted place in the world and use Wisps) it's only been two games so far but it's already got tiring by Sonic Lost World, I personally think that Sega should just ultimately make Sonic Adventure 3, when's the last time Shadow, Rouge and even Knuckles have had important roles in a Sonic game?, Knuckles was in Sonic Lost World, but he was turned into a minor NPC. Knuckles really deserves an important role in a Sonic game again.

While still on the topic of Sega, they are also suffering from Nintendo's issue. Sega only seems to focus on Sonic games right now, I get it. Sonic is Sega's most popular series, meaning if it wasn't for SONIC Sega All Stars Racing, you could forget about seeing AiAi, Ulala or the Alex Kidd.
 * Favorite Games of this Company: Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Colors, Sonic 3D Blast, Space Channel 5, Streets of Rage.
 * Least Favorite Games of this Company: Sonic the Hedgehog 06, Sonic Chronicles: Dark Brotherhood.

Insomniac Games
Along with Sucker Punch, it's seems like their the only "sane" companies in Sony right now. The Spyro the Dragon series was pretty good and it's too bad that Universal got too selfish and they had to start a new series, which I personally think is better the game is Ratchet & Clank.

My personal favorite games in the series are the four games released back on the PS2 (not counting the dreaded Size Matters which I hated for many different reasons), the Future Series on the PS3 is also good but it's dragged on first about five years now, it's going nowhere and it just seems like the past games (All Four One, Full Frontier Assult and Into the Nexus) are just filler games.

I think they should just return to the original roots of the first game and re-introduce those old characters in the PS2 era. The Resistance series is just okay, it's pretty cliche in my opinion and I didn't find it all that fun.
 * Favorite Games of this Company: Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
 * Least Favorite Games of this Company: (Most Ratchet & Clank games after All Four One)
