Valve

Blizzard with the exception of their recent DRM strategy

Nintendo is still good, just not as good as the SNES/N64 days

Given what they've already done, which is a s***load more incredible games than most developers can claim, I don't think they lose consistently good status just for failing to deliver on a sequel. It's a fair criticism given that they promised it and basically shelved it but they've done enough to be considered consistently good - they'd only lose that if they released episode 3 and it sucked.

For all the people saying Naughty Dog...my impression is that the company really stepped up this gen. For all that they were good in the PS1 and PS2 era and even early PS3, they weren't "Can make a serious GotY contender every two years" level good.

Really, Blizzard hasn't made any bad PC games, but it's easy enough not to like some of the games involved if the genre isn't to your fancy.

A ton of their games have been re-released on XBL and PSN, but they're legitimately awesome all-around. </resident Treasure fanboy>

Reading through this topic, I was growing seriously disappointed that no one had said this. Granted, I haven't played their Sesame Street game, but I trust it's good enough for a children's kinect title. Everything else they've made has been great.

They milk the hell out of their titles, and there's dozens of bad SMT games.

They didn't really get their **** together until like, last generation (and even then it's a bit spotty). And this generation they've only made one console game, at the tail end of the generation.

Retro can't get on this list because of Metroid Prime Hunters.

I guess an argument could be made for Valve, but their library quality isn't exactly "consistent".

Double Fine is literally the only one I can think of. Even Happy Action Theatre was damn good.
