Wondering who's the best of the best when it comes to game design? Well, IGN has their usual top 10 and its about the greatest game designers in the world. Check it out, this list wont disappoint. Yes, Shiggy is on it. It would be blasphemous not to include him. =)

Shigeru Miyamoto - Notable Games: Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Pikmin

Shigeru Miyamoto
Unsurprisingly, the IGN editors overwhelmingly voted for Nintendo's golden child as the greatest game designer in the world. Shigeru Miyamoto's vision goes beyond the world of videogames, and his titles have captured the imaginations of gamers and non-gamers alike for the better part of 30 years. He is responsible for many of the most beloved and recognizable franchises and characters in the industry: Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Yoshi, Pikmin, nintendogs... No other designer on this list can claim a body of work that casts a wider net than Miyamoto's. He was the first person to be inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences' Hall of Fame in 1998, and in 2007 Time magazine selected Miyamoto as one of the 100 most-influential people of the year.
