US news site Next-gen.biz has compiled a list of the Top 50 development studios in Europe, based on revenue, product sales, review scores and other criteria. The locations of each studio were then compared, with scores distributed to each country depending on the number of developers representing them in the chart.

England houses most of the key studios amassing 887 points. Next up is France with 109 points and then Scotland with 77.

But which studios make the top ten? Place your bets now!

10. Sports Interactive - England 9. Lionhead - England 8. Ubisoft Montpellier - France 7. SCE Studios London - Erm, England 6. EA UK - England 5. Ubisoft Paris - Oui, France 4. Criterion - England 3. Crytek - Germany 2. Traveller's Tales - England 1. Rockstar North - Scotland

It's an interesting list and a reminder of the huge, reasonably diverse pool of talent hidden out there in the wilds of Britain - and Europe in general.

But say you were a member of the UK Independence Party - could you live on English games alone? Take a look at the full list and let us know...
