Okay, you know when we go out to buy sportswear, we always want to buy Adidas or Nike or something like that. And when we go to buy clothes, we always get the clothes with the right desginer labels on them.

I mean, the Tommy Hilfiger jumper may not be the best quality, and may be more expensive, but when your Mum points to the jumper made by someone you've never heard of says, "Oh darling, that one is cheaper, and it looks like it'll last longer," you say, "but this one's Tommy Hilfiger!" Most parents will know this, anyway.
But does the developers' names effect the games we buy?
Do we buy EA Sports' games because they are the "best" around???
Do we buy Konami games, because everyone else is getting them??

I've never really thought about it before, but the developers' names have never effected the games I buy. I tend to go towards sequels, or what games they have made in the past, more than the actual names.

I mean, would you buy a driving game made by a completely new developer, which looks good, or would you swing towards the Codemasters driving game, even though it looks worse.

I don't think that the names of games developers' have effected our gaming choices at all, but you never know...

Thanks for reading, Ant.

Anything with the words "Shigeru Miyamoto", "Yu Suzuki" or "Yugi Naka" in the credits are must haves.

I always buy Farming sims from Natsume. No one else makes them as well as Natsume does.

Or fishing sims, for that matter.

Square are not the only ones who can make quailty RPG's.
Nintendo can and Sega can, with Zelda and ShenMue.

RPG's: SquareSoft every time
Driving: Infogrames or Codemasters
Sports: THQ or EA

Anything else I'll read reviews first. I've got a Squaresoft T-shirt so I'm biased.
