Popular games that aren't made by American developers?

Unlike movies*, most videogames aren't made by american devs

• excluding Bollywood of course

Are you serious?

Battlefield 3

Space Rangers.

Dead Island

Serious Sam games are made in Croatia

Risen, Risen 2, Gothic 1,2,3
Well, they aren't that popular but they're still good games.
Oh and Spec Ops: The Line, Crysis, Crysis 2
They're made by german developers.

Bioware is located in Canada, so Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Baldurs Gate are also non American Games.

Risen, Gothic, Crysis, Spec Ops: The Line are all made by German developers.

Amnesia?

Divine Divinity

Crysis Series.

Ys

for some reason when i first red your topic for this post i thought it said polar and expect the word bears to be next LOOOOOOOL

FORTIX?

Kamasutra nights

Bulletstorm

click

Killzone Series (Dutch developers)

Since you're talking about the U.S., it'd be easier to just find popular games that are made by developers from the United States.

If you're looking for popular games that don't feature American culture, then you'd have a challenge.

HORRID HENRY

Mass Effect,
Dragon Age,
MSD,
Neverwinter Nights
Black and White,
Fable

To name a few... Plus most of the ones above. I'll also add the xbox360 underdog "Wet" as it's very good (aside from a couple of big flaws) and some obvious games that haven't seen mentioned like Silent Hill...

In any case the list is huge so there's no real point in making it I guess... It's like a list of great non-american bands/books/foods/etc. Americans do it right, so does the rest of the world...
