Nintendo takes second spot, with Rockstar North, makers of Grand Theft Auto, third, and Capcom fith.

The list was compiled by Develop magazine and is based on sales figures, review scores and industry standing.

Develop's editor-in-chief Michael French said: "World of Warcraft has... truly penetrated pop culture, inspiring(令人振奋的,鼓舞人心的) everything from web memes to episodes of The Simpsons, showing Blizzard's ability to not only create compelling experiences but also court user expectations."

Twenty six UK studios make the Top 100 list, including Travellers Tales (12th), maker of the Lego videogames, and Media Molecule (18th), the creator of LittleBigPlanet.

Peter Molyneux's Lionhead, developer of the Fable games, is awarded the 22nd spot.

Treyarch and Infinity Ward, the developers which alternate the creation of Call of Duty video games, are at seven and eight in the chart.
