10 Developers Who Have Never Made A Bad Video Game

8. Harmonix

Sometimes you come across a game developer that is absolutely ensconced in their passion of choice. With Harmonix, it's music, and they've spent their life's work creating some of not only the best rhythm games of all time, but software that actually encourages people to pick up and learn real instruments.

Rock Band 3 was the nearest the team got to essentially making a plastic guitar replete with strings, but even their debut efforts Frequency and Amplitude provided an insight into music composition, alongside how to get an feel for timing.

And of course, there's Guitar Hero, quite possibly the biggest peripheral craze of the 2000s - something that returned a few years ago for another go-round, but still represents one of the most important steps towards video games being accepted as a mainstream, living room-based form of entertainment.

Game studios aren't often thought of as teams of musicians with orchestral, compositional brains, but Harmonix really are that dedicated, that cherished and that reliable.
