Black Mesa VS Aperture Science
Dodger:
Black Mesa owns the hell out of Aperature. At least Black Mesa scientists could make a functioning AI (Dog). Also, Black Mesa is better at selecting employees (Gordon, Barney, Eli, etc.).
Also, the Resonance Cascade was G-Man's fault, not Black Mesa's
Tudoreleuu:
well, if you bring in DOG, there'd also atlas and p-body
great work including stuff that aperture invented decepticon
also I think aperture's a bit more dedicated. black mesa had a huge budget and barely managed to invent anything before it started a world war, while aperture science, with a smaller budget, continued to test and invent in their awesome underground base
Tudoreleuu:
science isn't about why, it's about bumping the thread
Tonkka²:
I wonder if any of the Aperture workers ever took a sample of those repulsion and other gels with them and tried to use them on their richards for extra fun procrastination/love sessions.

Just because you dont see all of BM's stuff in the games doesn't mean they didn't do as much. Black Mesa was a government-funded research juggernaut, Aperture was a private corporation led by a bloody lunatic. Aperture tech may have been more sophisticated, but Black Mesa's research was applicable to things outside of puzzle games.
